This section explains how to enable user provisioning within Tivoli Access Manager (TAM).

There are two ways to create users in WebSphere Portal:

Self-registration:	Enabled by default.
Manage Users and Groups portlet:	Administrators can use this portlet to create WebSphere Portal users.

When users are created in WebSphere Portal, they are not automatically imported into TAM. Enabling automatic user provisioning to TAM changes this behavior. Once this feature is enabled, users are automatically imported into TAM whenever they are created in WebSphere Portal. When user provisioning to TAM, anyone with access to the public portal URL can become an active user in TAM as long as the portal's self-registration feature remains enabled.

To enable user provisioning within TAM :

1. Check server status:

   UNIX:

   cd was_profile_root/bin
   ./serverStatus.sh -all -user

   Windows:

   cd was_profile_root\bin
   serverStatus -all

   i5/OS:

   cd app_server_root/bin
   serverStatus -all -profileName profile_root

2. Start any servers that are not running.

   If this is a clustered environment, start all deployment manager servers and the deployment manager.

3. Run the appropriate configuration task for the specific operating system:

   UNIX:

   cd portal_server_root/config
   ./WPSconfig.sh enable-tam-userprov -DPdAdminPw=password

   Windows:

   cd portal_server_root/config
   WPSconfig.bat enable-tam-userprov -DPdAdminPw=password
