Update the group membership configuration on Windows

When you configure your LDAP user registry, a group membership is automatically created. You may need to adjust the group membership configuration if you notice high loads on the LDAP server and/or long response times on authentication requests.

In a single server environment the WebSphere_Portal and server1 servers can be either stopped or started.

In a clustered environment stop all appservers on the system including WebSphere_Portal and server1 and then start the nodeagent and deployment manager servers before starting the following task.

Perform the following steps to update the group membership configuration:

1. Edit...
   profile_root/ConfigEngine/properties/wkplc.properties

2. Update the following parameters in wkplc.properties under the VMM LDAP group member config heading:
   • gc.ldap.id
   • gc.name
   • gc.updateGroupMembership
   • gc.scope

3. Save changes to wkplc.properties.

4. Run...
   ConfigEngine.bat wp-create-ldap-groupconfig -DWasPassword=password task, from the profile_root/ConfigEngine directory, to update the group membership for the LDAP user registry.
   • 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 enable-jcr-security on the secondary node.
