Deploying NWDS apps via SDM in Sneak Preview SP16 Java Full Edition

Posting a learning. I had trouble getting this working, and other similar questions/answers in the forums didn't fix it for me.

To deploy NWDS apps via SDM to the Sneak Preview SP16 Full Java edition, I had to do the following:

- create a new user with id: admin (this seems to be the default user ID that SDM uses to connect to the J2EE engine with to deploy apps)

- assign it the same password as the SDM: admin (SDM seems to use its own password for the "admin" account hence this is the easy way to make them the same)

- add it to the group "Administrators" (not the role "Administrator") (SDM requires that the user used be a member of this group)

- enter "admin" as the default password into the SDM login prompt when deploying my app (this is the default password for SDM)

Can't vouch for other SP versions or non-Sneak Preview versions.

Good luck!
