We use following syntax to stop a webpshere application server:

stopServer.sh servername -user admin_userid -password admin_password

However the start command is less luminous

startServer.sh servername

Why does only stop command requires admin credentials while start command does not ask for any?

stopServer.sh and startServer.sh have and should have the same privilege/restriction. Maybe the server Admin had restriction the stopServer.sh to admin users only.

But I'm pretty sure that isn't the case in the default installation.

EDIT

I recheck, here the new info:

The startServer doesn't need user/pass even if security is enable

The stopServer need username and password credential if security is enable.

IMHO, they design the server this way, because there's more consequences when you stop a server than when you start it.
