WIMManagementCommands command group

Overview

Use the Jython or Jacl scripting languages to configure security with wsadmin.sh. The commands and parameters in the WIMManagementCommands group can be used to create and manage groups, members, and users in the virtual member manager.

If the Use global security settings option is selected for the user realm or the Global federated repositories option is selected as the realm type for the specified domain, the user and group management commands are executed on the federated repository of the admin domain. For example, if you run the createUser command for the specified domain, the user is created in the admin domain. However, configuration changes performed on the domain are applied to the security domain-specific configuration.

The WIMManagementCommands command group includes the following commands:

• addMemberToGroup
• changeMyPassword
• createGroup
• createUser
• deleteGroup
• deleteUser
• duplicateMembershipOfGroup
• duplicateMembershipOfUser
• getGroup
• getMembershipOfGroup
• getMembershipOfUser
• getMembersOfGroup
• getUser
• removeMemberFromGroup
• searchGroups
• searchUsers
• updateGroup
• updateUser

addMemberToGroup

The addMemberToGroup command adds a member to a group in the virtual member manager. If successful, the addMemberToGroup command returns the unique name of the added member.

Parameters and return values

-memberUniqueName

Unique name for the user or group that you want to add to the specified group. This parameter maps to the uniqueName property in virtual member manager.

-groupUniqueName

Unique name for the group to which you want to add the user or group that you specifed in the memberUniqueName parameter. This parameter maps to the uniqueName property in virtual member manager.

-securityDomainName

Name that uniquely identifies the security domain. If not specified, uses the global federated repository. (String, optional)

Examples

Batch example...

### Jacl

$AdminTask addMemberToGroup {-memberUniqueName uid=meyersd,cn=users,dc=yourco,dc=com –groupUniqueName
cn=admins,cn=groups,dc=yourco,dc=com}

### Jython string

AdminTask.addMemberToGroup ('[-memberUniqueName uid=meyersd,cn=users,dc=yourco,dc=com –groupUniqueName
cn=admins,cn=groups,dc=yourco,dc=com]')

• Jython list:

  AdminTask.addMemberToGroup (['-memberUniqueName', 'uid=meyersd', 'cn=users', 'dc=yourco', 'dc=yourco',  'groupUniqueName', 'cn=admins', 'cn=groups', 'dc=yourco', 'dc=com'])

changeMyPassword

The changeMyPassword command allows you to change your password when you are logged into WAS. It requires you to specify your old password and the new password, and then confirm your new password. If your old password is validated successfully, and the new password that you specify exactly matches your confirmation of the new password, then the password is changed.

We can use the changeMyPassword command only for repositories that have a write adapter for federated repositories. It will not work for read-only adapters or the federated repositories user registry bridge that is configured with the local operating system user registry or a custom user registry.

Parameters and return values

-oldPassword

The old password of the user. The value of the oldPassword parameter is validated against the password of the user in the repository. (String, required)

-newPassword

The new password that must be set for the user. (String, required)

-confirmNewPassword

The new password that must be set for the user. The value of the newPassword and confirmNewPassword parameters must match. (String, required)

After you change your password, your old password might continue to remain in effect, allowing you to login using your old password. This happens if both the authentication cache and basic authentication cache keys are enabled, causing the old password to remain valid according to the value specified for cache timeout or cache size.

We can clear the WAS security cache so that you do not have to wait for the cacheTimeout to expire. To clean entries from the AuthCache, use the SecurityAdmin MBeanclearAuthCache methods, clearAuthCache or purgeUserFromCache.

Call one of the following MBean methods on each WAS process that requires the subject of the user to be cleared from the cache. The AuthCache is a cache for each process, so every process (not just the dmgr) that has the user authenticated must have this method called:

• /**
   * clearAuthCache
   */
  public void clearAuthCache()
  

• /**
   * purgeUserFromCache
   */
  public void purgeUserFromAuthCache(String realm, String userid)
  

The following example shows how you can use wsadmin to call the clearAuthCache method on the dmgr process:

set sa [$AdminControl queryNames type=SecurityAdmin,process=dmgr,*]
$AdminControl invoke $sa clearAuthCache

For more information, read Authentication cache settings.

createGroup

The createGroup command creates a new group in the virtual member manager. After the command completes, the new group will appear in the repository. For LDAP, a group must contain a member.
