Change a federated repository configuration to include a single built-in, file-based repository only
Follow this task to change your federated repository configuration to include a single built-in, file-based repository only. To change your federated repository configuration to include a single built-in, file-based repository only, know the primary administrative user name of the user who manages WAS resources and user accounts.
Client certificate login is not supported in a realm that includes a single built-in, file-based repository or a single built-in, file-based repository with other repositories.
Procedure
- In the console, click Security > Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure.
- Under User account repository, select Federated repositories from the Available realm definitions field and click Configure.
- Enter the name of the realm in the Realm name field. If the realm contains a single built-in, file-based repository only, specify defaultWIMFileBasedRealm as the realm name.
- Enter the name of the primary administrative user in the Primary administrative user name field, for example, adminUser.
- Enable the Ignore case for authorization option.
- Click Use built-in repository if the built-in, file-based repository is not listed in the collection.
- Select all repositories in the collection that are not of type File and click Remove.
- Click OK.
- Provide an administrative user password. This panel displays only when a built-in, file-based repository is included in the realm. Otherwise, it does not display. If a built-in, file-based repository is included, complete the following steps:
- Supply a password for the primary administrative user in the Password field.
- Confirm the password of the primary administrative user in the Confirm password field.
- Click OK.
Results
After completing these steps, your federated repository configuration, which includes a single built-in, file-based repository only, is configured.
What to do next
- Before you can manage this account with Users and Groups, configure supported entity types as described in Configure supported entity types in a federated repository configuration.
- After configuring the federated repositories, click Security > Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure to return to the Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure panel. Verify that Federated repositories is identified in the Current realm definition field. If Federated repositories is not identified, select Federated repositories from the Available realm definitions field and click Set as current. To verify the federated repositories configuration, click Apply on the Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure panel. If Federated repositories is not identified in the Current realm definition field, your federated repositories configuration is not used by WebSphere Application Server.
- If you are enabling security, complete the remaining steps, as specified in Enabling security for the realm. As the final step, validate this setup by clicking Apply in the Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure panel.
- Save, stop, and restart all the product servers (deployment managers, nodes, and Application Servers) for changes in this panel to take effect. If the server comes up without any problems, the setup is correct.
