Configure stand-alone repositories

Add the custom stand-alone user registry and repository. You must implement the UserRegistry interface to connect to VMM and then implement a custom registry adaptor so that WebSphere Portal can access the repository. After you implement the required interfaces, define several parameters for the environment and run a task to create the stand-alone repository.

To use a single repository other than an LDAP directory, you must implement the UserRegistry interface to create a custom stand-alone user registry. You must also create a custom user registry adaptor by implementing the wim.Repository interface. Refer to the WAS Information Center for more information and instructions.

Create a stand-alone repository

1. Edit wkplc.properties

2. Set values under the VMM Standalone CUR configuration heading:
   • standalone.cur.id
   • standalone.cur.baseDN
   • standalone.cur.realm
   • standalone.cur.delimiter
   • standalone.cur.adapterClassName
   • standalone.cur.WasAdapterClassName
   • standalone.cur.primaryAdminId
   • standalone.cur.primaryAdminPassword
   • standalone.cur.primaryPortalAdminId
   • standalone.cur.primaryPortalAdminPassword
   • standalone.cur.primaryPortalAdminGroup
   • standalone.cur.personAccountParent
   • standalone.cur.groupParent
   • standalone.cur.personAccountRdnProperties
   • standalone.cur.groupRdnProperties
   • standalone.cur.isExtIdUnique
   • standalone.cur.supportExternalName
   • standalone.cur.supportPaging
   • standalone.cur.supportSorting
   • standalone.cur.supportTransactions

3. Save and close wkplc.properties.

4. Validate the LDAP server settings:
   ./ConfigEngine.sh validate-standalone-ldap -DWasPassword=foo

5. Set the standalone repository:
   ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-modify-cur-security -DWasPassword=foo

6. Restart the WebSphere_Portal server.

If you created the clustered environment, including the additional nodes, and then completed the steps in this task, run update-jcr-admin on the secondary nodes.
