WebSphere Application Server distinguishes between the user identities for administrators who manage the environment and server identities for authenticating server to server communications. In most cases, server identities are automatically generated and are not stored in a repository. If we are adding a previous version node to the latest version cell and the previous version node used a server identity and password, ensure that the server identity and password for the previous version are defined in the repository for this cell. Enter the server user identity and password on this panel.

Primary administrative user name

Name of a user with administrative privileges defined in the local operating system. The user name is used to log on to the administrative console when administrative security is enabled. A single user identity is required for both administrative access and internal process communication. This identity is used as the server user identity. We need to specify another user for the administrative user identity.
