WebSphere Application Server v7.0 distinguishes between the user identities for administrators who manage the environment and server identities for authenticating server to server communications. In most cases, server identities are automatically generated and are not stored in a repository.
However, if you are adding a previous version node to the latest version cell and the previous version node used a server identity and password, ensure the server identity and password for the previous version are defined in the repository for this cell. Enter the server user identity and password on this panel.
Primary administrative user name
Name of a user with administrative privileges defined in your local operating system.
The user name is used to log on to the dmgr console when administrative security is enabled..
In WAS, v6.1 and above, a single user identity is required for both administrative access and internal process communication. When migrating to v6.1 and above, this identity is used as the server user identity. You need to specify another user for the administrative user identity.
Automatically generated server identity
Enables the application server to generate the server identity, which is recommended for environments containing only v6.1 or later nodes. Automatically generated server identities are not stored in a user repository.
Information Value Default: Enabled
Server identity stored in the repository
User identity in the repository used for internal process communication.
Cells containing v6.1 or later nodes require a server user identity defined in the active user repository.
Information Value Default: Enabled
Server user ID or administrative user on a v6.0.x node
User ID used to run the application server for security purposes.
Password
Password that corresponds to the server ID.
