Create federated repositories

1. Perform the following steps to create a federated repository:

   1. Edit wkplc.properties with any text editor.

   2. Set values under the VMM Federated CUR Properties heading:
      • federated.cur.id
      • federated.cur.adapterClassName
      • federated.cur.baseDN
      • federated.cur.isExtIdUnique
      • federated.cur.supportExternalName
      • federated.cur.supportPaging
      • federated.cur.supportSorting
      • federated.cur.supportTransactions

   3. Save and close wkplc.properties.

   4. Run...
      cd WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine
      ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-create-cur -DWasPassword=foo

   5. Restart the WebSphere_Portal server.

2. Perform the following steps to create custom properties for the federated repository:

   1. Open wkplc.properties with any text editor from the following directory:
      WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine/properties

   2. Set values under the VMM Federated CUR Properties heading in wkplc.properties:
      • cur.id
      • cur.name
      • cur.value

   3. Save and close wkplc.properties.

   4. Create the custom property...
      cd WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine
      ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-create-cur-custom-property -DWasPassword=foo

   5. Restart the WebSphere_Portal server.

Custom repository

Add a custom repository to the default federated repositories. We implement a custom registry adapter so that HCL WebSphere Portal can access the repository. After implementing the custom registry adapter, define several parameters for the environment and run a task to add the repository to the federated repositories. Create a custom user registry adapter before creating the repository. To create the user registry adapter, implement the wim.Repository interface. Refer to the WAS documentation for information and instructions.
