Federated repositories
Federated repositories enable the use of multiple repositories, combined under a single realm.
The user ID and the DN for an LDAP repository must be unique in the realm. For example, for repositories A, B, and C, if user foobar is in both A and B, errors will result.
Federated repositories also support the logical joining of entries during searches. For example, a search for a sorted list of people whose age is greater than twenty will query A, B, and C.
Federated repositories provide read and write capabilities.
To configure multiple repositories under the federated repositories realm, we specify...
- Supported entity types
- Base entry for the default parent
To set realm type...
Security | Global security | Security Domains | domain_name | Security Attributes | User Realm | Customize for this domain | Realm type | Federated repositories | Apply | Save to the master configuration
On Security domains panel that appears, click the domain_name again to go to the domain configuration panel. Under User realm, click the Manage users or Manager Groups links that are displayed now. These links are displayed only after saving the federated repositories configuration for the domain.
You can also use wsadmin.sh with WIMManagementCommands.
