Change to the federated repository on AIX
If you originally configured a standalone LDAP user registry but find that you need a more robust security configuration, you can change to the federated user repository. Ensure that the server1 and WebSphere_Portal servers are started before starting this task.
To change from a standalone LDAP user registry to a federated repository:
- Edit wkplc.properties located in WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine/properties.
- Enter a value for the following required parameters in the wkplc.properties file under VMM Federated repository properties:
- federated.primaryAdminId
- federated.realm
- federated.serverId
- federated.serverPassword
- Save changes to the wkplc.properties file.
- Run...
./ConfigEngine.sh wp-modify-federated-security -DWasPassword=wpsadmin
...from WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine directory to add a new property to the property extension configuration.
- 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
