Re: Secure admin breaks web admin?

You did not mention whether you were running NetBeans from the same system
where the GlassFish server is or on a different system.

If it's on a different system, then you need to enable-secure-admin to permit
remote administration.

And you need to restart all servers in the domain after you enable or disable
secure admin.

In GlassFish 3.1, this command does two things: it allows remote admin
requests and it also uses SSL to protect the admin traffic on the network. 
By default, the GlassFish server identifies itself using a self-signed
certificate for SSL.  When you first use asadmin (or a browser) to connect
to the server, the asadmin or browser client can tell that the cert is
self-signed and, therefore, is not inherently trustworthy.  So these clients
ask you if you want to trust that cert.  That's the long message you
referred to.

Also, you should be able to find the log file in
${domainDir}/logs/server.log.
