and CORBA naming service user settings

 

Use the Administrative User Roles page to give users specific authority to administer appservers through tools such as the console or wsadmin scripting. The authority requirements are only effective when global security is enabled. Use the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) naming service users settings page to manage CORBA naming service users settings. To view the Console Users console page, complete either of the following steps:

To view the CORBA naming service groups console page, click Environment > Naming > CORBA Naming Service Groups.

User (Administrative user roles)

Specify users.

The users that are entered must exist in the configured active user registry.

Data type: String

User (CORBA naming service users)

Specify CORBA naming service users.

The users that are entered must exist in the configured active user registry.

Data type: String

Role (Administrative user roles)

Specify user roles. The following administrative roles provide different degrees of authority that are needed to perform certain appserver administrative functions:

Administrator

The administrator role has operator permissions, configurator permissions, and the permission that is required to access sensitive data including server password, LTPA password and keys, and so on.

Operator

The operator role has monitor permissions and can change the run-time state. For example, the operator can start or stop services.

Configurator

The configurator role has monitor permissions and can change the WebSphere Application Server configuration.

Monitor

The monitor role has the least permissions. This role primarily confines the user to viewing the appserver configuration and current state.

adminsecuritymanager

The adminsecuritymanager role has privileges for managing users and groups from within the console and determines who has access to modify users and groups using administrative role mapping. Only the adminsecuritymanager role can map users and groups to administrative roles, and by default, AdminId is granted to the adminsecuritymanager.

iscadmins

The iscadmins role has administrator privileges for managing users and groups from within the console only.

To manage users and groups, click Users and Groups in the console navigation tree. Click either Manage Users or Manage Groups.

Data type: String
Range: Administrator, Operator, Configurator, Monitor, and iscadmins

Other arbitrary administrative roles might also be visible in the console collection table. Other contributors to the console might create these additional roles, which can be used for applications that are deployed to the console.

Role (CORBA naming service users)

Specify naming service user roles.

A number of naming roles are defined to provide degrees of authority that are needed to perform certain appserver naming service functions. The authorization policy is only enforced when global security is enabled. The following roles are valid: CosNamingRead, CosNamingWrite, CosNamingCreate, and CosNamingDelete. The roles now have authority levels from low to high:

CosNamingRead

You can query the application server name space by using, for example, the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) lookup method. The EVERYONE special-subject is the default policy for this role.

CosNamingWrite

You can perform write operations such as JNDI bind, rebind, or unbind, plus CosNamingRead operations.

CosNamingCreate

You can create new objects in the name space through operations such as JNDI createSubcontext and CosNamingWrite operations.

CosNamingDelete

You can destroy objects in the name space, for example using the JNDI destroySubcontext method and CosNamingCreate operations.

Data type: String
Range: CosNamingRead, CosNamingWrite, CosNamingCreate and CosNamingDelete

Login status (Administrative user roles)

Species whether the user is active or inactive.
