Update the user registry on an HP-UX

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. To update the user registry configurations:

• Add a database user registry on HP-UX

  Add a database user registry to the default federated repository to store user account information for authentication and authorization. You can add multiple database user registries to the default federated repository although you can only add one database user registry at a time.

• Configure a property extension database on HP-UX

  Configure WebSphere Portal to use a property extension to store additional attributes that cannot be stored in the LDAP user registry.

• Modifying to the federated repository on HP-UX

• Updating the base entry on HP-UX

  After creating your base entries, you may find that update the distinguished name in the repository that uniquely identifies the base entry name.

• Updating the database user registry on HP-UX

  After creating and using the database user registry, you can run the wp-update-db task to update the database user ID, password, and/or the database where the data is stored. This task does not change the DN structure stored in the database repository.

• Updating the federated LDAP user registry on HP-UX

  After creating and using the LDAP user registry in the default federated repository, you may find that your LDAP user registry is not working exactly as you would like. You can easily update the LDAP user registry and make the necessary changes.

  For example, you can change your LDAP Bind password.

• Updating the realm configuration on HP-UX

  After creating and using the realm(s) in the default federated repository, you may find that your realm configuration is not working exactly as you would like. You can easily update the realm configurations and make the necessary changes.

• Creating the entity type on HP-UX

  If an entity type exists within WebSphere Portal but does not exist within your LDAP user registry, you can map it between WebSphere Portal and your LDAP user registry.

  1. Create the entity type within your LDAP user registry
  2. Add the relative distinguished name (RDN) to the entity type

• Updating an entity type on HP-UX

  After adding the user registry, you may find that update a single entity type with the value of the default parent.

  For example, if you delete a repository, update the entity type if it points to the deleted repository.

• Updating a group member on HP-UX

  After creating your LDAP user registry, you may find that your group member is not correct.

• Updating the stand-alone LDAP user registry on HP-UX

  After configuring and using the standalone LDAP user registry, you may find that your LDAP user registry is not working exactly as you would like. You can easily update the LDAP user registry and make the necessary changes.

  For example, you can change your LDAP Bind password.

• Updating the group membership configuration on HP-UX

  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.

• Updating the context pool configuration on HP-UX

  After configuring LDAP user registry, you may find that adjust the number of context instances concurrently maintained by the content pool in order to increase performance.
