Configure WebSphere Portal to use a user registry on IBM i in a clustered environment
Configure user registry security on IBM WebSphere Portal to protect the server from unauthorized users. Configure a stand-alone LDAP user registry or we can add LDAP user registries and/or database user registries to the default federated repository. After configuring your user registry, we can add realms for Virtual Portals or a lookaside database to store attributes that cannot be stored in the LDAP user registry.
- Prerequisites
- Prepare the IBM i operating system in a clustered environment
- Prepare the primary node on IBM i
- Create and augment a new dmgr profile on IBM i
Prior to configuring security, use the IBM WAS backupConfig task to create and store a back up of the IBM WebSphere Portal configuration; see backupConfig command for information.
- Prerequisites
- Prepare the IBM i operating system in a clustered environment
- Prepare the primary node on IBM i
- Create and augment a new dmgr profile on IBM i
Complete the following tasks to configure WebSphere Portal to use a user registry:
- Choose the user registry model on IBM i in a clustered environment
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.
