Enabling security requires the creation of a WebSphere Application Server administrative user. Use the Tivoli Access Manager command-line pdadmin utility to create the TAM administrative user for WAS. This utility is available on the policy server host machine.

Follow these steps to use the pdadmin utility.

  1. From a command line, start the pdadmin utility as the TAM administrative user, sec_master:

    pdadmin -a sec_master -p sec_master_password

  2. Create a WAS security user. For example, the following instructions create a new user, wasadmin. The command is entered as one continuous line:

    pdadmin> user create wasadmin cn=wasadmin,o=organization, c=country wasadmin wasadmin myPassword

    Substitute values for organization and country that are valid for your LDAP user registry.

  3. Enable the account for the WAS security administrative user by issuing the following command:

    pdadmin> user modify wasadmin account-valid yes

 

What to do next
