Manage the user registry on Windows

After installing and deploying WebSphere Portal, which includes configuring the user registry, you can manage the user registry by running various update and/or delete tasks. These tasks include, but are not limited to, adding a property extension database, updating or deleting the entity type, and deleting the registry. To configure security:

• Updating the user registry on Windows

  After deploying WebSphere Portal, you may need to make adjustments to your standalone LDAP user registry or to your federated user repository configurations. You can update these configurations to achieve the proper user registry configuration.

• Deleting the user registry configurations on Windows

  After deploying WebSphere Portal, you may find that you no longer need some of the LDAP entity types, realms, realm base entries, repositories, etc. that you created. You can delete these configurations to achieve the proper user registry configuration.

• Restoring the VMM setup with a federated file repository on Windows

  If your business needs change or something happens to make the user registry configuration inoperable, you can run the wp-restore-default-repository-configuration task to restore the default VMM setup with a federated file repository, which will allow you to reconfigure the user registry to meet your business needs. The task deletes all existing repositories, creates a new realm, and configures a file repository in VMM. The task also creates a new user and a new user group, which is set to portal and WAS administrators.
