Restoring the VMM setup with a federated file repository on AIX

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.

Perform the following steps to restore the default VMM setup with a federated file repository:

  1. Edit...

      profile_root/ConfigEngine/properties/wkplc.properties

  2. Set the following parameters in wkplc.properties under the Restore VMM security heading:

  3. Save changes to wkplc.properties.

  4. Run...

      ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-restore-default-repository-configuration -DWasPassword=password

    from the profile_root/ConfigEngine directory, to restore the default repository.

  5. Propagate the security changes:

    Option Description
    Standalone

    1. cd profile_root/bin
      ./stopServer.sh server1 -username admin_userid -password admin_password

    2. cd profile_root/bin
      ./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password admin_password

    3. cd profile_root/bin
      ./startServer.sh server1

    4. cd profile_root/bin
      ./startServer.sh WebSphere_Portal

    Cluster

    1. cd dmgr_profile/bin
      ./stopManager.sh-username admin_userid -password admin_password

    2. cd profile_root/bin
      ./stopNode.sh -username admin_userid -password admin_password

    3. cd profile_root/bin
      ./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password admin_password

    4. cd dmgr_profile/bin
      ./startManager.sh

    5. cd profile_root/bin
      ./startNode.sh

    6. cd profile_root/bin
      ./startServer.sh WebSphere_Portal

  6. Run...

      ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-restore-default-repository-add-group-member -DWasPassword=password
    ...task

    to restore the default repository.

  7. Propagate the security changes:

    Option Description
    Standalone cd profile_root/bin
    ./stopServer.sh server1 -username admin_userid -password admin_password
    ./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password admin_password
    ./startServer.sh server1
    ./startServer.sh WebSphere_Portal
    Cluster cd dmgr_profile/bin
    ./stopManager.sh-username admin_userid -password admin_password
    cd profile_root/bin
    ./stopNode.sh -username admin_userid -password admin_password
    ./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password admin_password
    cd dmgr_profile/bin
    ./startManager.sh
    cd profile_root/bin
    ./startNode.sh
    ./startServer.sh WebSphere_Portal

If you performed these steps after creating the clustered environment, run the enable-jcr-security task on the secondary node; see Enabling LDAP security after cluster creation.
