Portal, V6.1
Add attributes
To ensure proper communication between IBM WebSphere Portal and your LDAP server, you may need to add new attributes to your configuration so that you can map the attributes between WebSphere Portal and your user registry.
To add new attributes to your user registry:
- Choose one of the following task options to install the necessary .ear file for adding properties:
Option Description Stand-alone environment Run the ConfigEngine.bat wp-la-install-ear -DWasPassword=wpsadmin ... from the WP_PROFILE\ConfigEngine.
Clustered environment Run the ConfigEngine.bat wp-la-install-ear -DWasPassword=wpsadmin -DServerName=server -DNodeName=node task only on the primary node ...from the WP_PROFILE\ConfigEngine.
- To propagate the security changes:
Option Description Stand-alone environment cd WP_PROFILE/bin
./stopServer.sh server1 -username adminid -password passwd
./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username adminid -password passwd
./startServer.sh server1
./startServer.sh WebSphere_PortalClustered environment cd dmgr_profile_root\bin
./stopManager.sh
cd WP_PROFILE/bin
./stopNode.sh -username adminid -password passwd
./stopServer.sh server1 -username adminid -password passwd
./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username adminid -password passwd
cd dmgr_profile_root\bin
./startManager.sh
cd WP_PROFILE/bin
./startNode.sh
./startServer.sh server1
./startServer.sh WebSphere_Portal- Edit wkplc.properties located inWP_PROFILE\ConfigEngine\properties.
- Enter a value for the following required parameters in the wkplc.properties file under the VMM Property Extension Properties heading:
See the wkplc.properties file for specific information about the required parameters and for advanced parameters.
- Save changes to the wkplc.properties file.
- Run the ConfigEngine.bat wp-add-property -DWasPassword=wpsadmin
... to add the attribute to the user registry.
If you have multiple properties to add, repeat all steps, except for the wp-la-install-ear until all new attributes are added.
- To propagate the security changes:
Option Description Stand-alone environment cd WP_PROFILE/bin
./stopServer.sh server1 -username adminid -password passwd
./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username adminid -password passwd
./startServer.sh server1
./startServer.sh WebSphere_PortalClustered environment cd dmgr_profile_root\bin
./stopManager.sh
cd WP_PROFILE/bin
./stopNode.sh -username adminid -password passwd
./stopServer.sh server1 -username adminid -password passwd
./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username adminid -password passwd
cd dmgr_profile_root\bin
./startManager.sh
cd WP_PROFILE/bin
./startNode.sh
./startServer.sh server1
./startServer.sh WebSphere_Portal
