Set stand-alone repositories

We can implement the user registry as a single stand-alone repository. A stand-alone repository can consist of virtually any type of repository, whether a relational database, file-based repository, or LDAP directory. WebSphere Application Server provides an implementation of the UserRegistry interface for a stand-alone LDAP repository out-of-box. To configure WebSphere Portal for a custom user registry with a stand-alone repository other than an LDAP directory, you must implement the UserRegistry interface.

• Create 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.
• Update stand-alone repositories
  We can update the environment parameters we defined when createdd the stand-alone repository. You should run the task to update the custom repository if you any environment settings have changed such as the base DN or an administrator user ID and password. We can also run the update task to change any settings you specified when createdd the repository.

  For example, run the update task to change support for paging, sorting, and transactions.
