AIX stand-alone: Add attributes

Overview

The VMM is configured with a default attribute schema that might not be compatible with LDAP server. If this is the case, extend the VMM attribute schema by adding new attributes that you can map between WebSphere Portal and user registry.

Prerequisites

Query the defined attributes

Add new attributes to user registry:

1. Install WIMSYSTEM.ear...

   Stand-alone environment

   cd WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine

   
   ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-la-install-ear -DWasPassword=foo

   Clustered environment, on the primary node.

   cd WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine

   
   ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-la-install-ear -DWasPassword=dmgr_password -DServerName=dmgr_server_name -DNodeName=node_name

   You can find the dmgr_server_name under

   System administrator -> Deployment Manager -> Configuration tab -> General Properties -> Name

   You can find the node_name in under

   System administrator -> Deployment Manager -> Runtime tab -> General Properties -> Node Name.
   • Stop and restart the appropriate servers to propagate the changes.

   • Edit WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine/properties/wkplc.properties

   • Enter a value under the VMM Property Extension Properties heading:
     la.providerURL
     la.propertyName
     la.entityTypes
     la.dataType
     la.multiValued

2. Save changes to wkplc.properties.
   ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-add-property -DWasPassword=footo add the attribute to the user registry.
   This task performs an EJB call to WAS, which must authenticate against WAS. Depending on the configuration in the sas.client.props file, you may receive a popup window or a command line prompt asking for user identity and password. Enter the WAS user ID and password.

   If you have multiple properties to add, repeat all steps, except for the wp-la-install-ear task, until all new attributes are added.

3. Stop and restart the appropriate servers to propagate the changes.
