IBM i stand-alone: Configure WebSphere Portal to use a user registry
You can configure a stand-alone LDAP user registry or you can add LDAP user registries and/or database user registries to the default federated repository. After configuring user registry, you can add realms for Virtual Portals or a lookaside database to store attributes that cannot be stored in the LDAP user registry.
Prior to configuring security, use the IBM WAS backupConfig task to create and store a backup of the portal configuration; see backupConfig command for information.
