Federated, unclustered server: Configure WebSphere Portal to use a user registry
A user registry prevents unauthorized access to the server and protects the data.
- Prerequisites
- Federated, unclustered server: Install WebSphere Portal
Make a backup of the portal configuration; see backupConfig command for information.
- Prerequisites
- Federated, unclustered server: Install WebSphere Portal
Select the operating system of the server where you have the user registry installed.
- Federated, unclustered server: Prepare a SecureWay Security Server
- Federated, unclustered server: Choose the user registry model
Choose between securing IBM WebSphere Portal with a standalone LDAP user registry or by adding LDAP user registries and/or database user registries to the default federated repository. Choose the federated repository if you plan to enable the transient user feature.- Federated, unclustered server: Adapt the attribute configuration
After installing IBM WebSphere Portal and configuring the LDAP user registries, adapt the attribute configuration to match the configured LDAP server(s) and the business needs.- Federated, unclustered server: Configure WebSphere Portal to use dynamic groups
By default, WebSphere Portal is enabled for static groups. However, the Virtual Member Manager (VMM) allows users to be members of either static or dynamic groups. Static groups are those where a persistent binding exists between a group and its members. Dynamic groups are those where a search query is defined to retrieve the members of a group. If you have the LDAP server configured to use dynamic groups, complete the steps in this task for WebSphere Portal to use dynamic group queries when you setup the LDAP server.- Federated, unclustered server: Enable referrals for the LDAP user registry
Referrals redirect object requests from one LDAP server to another when objects do not exist or cannot be located in a particular directory tree. You should enable referrals if the environment has more than one user registry existing on multiple servers or domains.
