Create the entity type on HP-UX

To map an entity type between WebSphere Portal and your LDAP user registry...

  1. Create the entity type within your LDAP user registry
  2. Add the relative distinguished name (RDN) to the entity type

In a single server environment the WebSphere_Portal and server1 servers can be either stopped or started.

In a clustered environment stop all appservers on the system including WebSphere_Portal and server1 and then start the nodeagent and deployment manager servers before starting the following task.

The wp-create-ldap-entitytype task creates a new LDAP entity type.

To update the LDAP entity type, first run wp-delete-ldap-entitytype and then run wp-create-ldap-entitytype to recreate.

  1. To list the names and types of configured repositories...

      cd profile_root/ConfigEngine
      ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-query-repository -DWasPassword=password

  2. Edit...

      profile_root/ConfigEngine/properties/wkplc.properties

  3. Enter the following parameters under the VMM LDAP entity type configuration heading:

  4. Save changes to wkplc.properties.

  5. Run...

      ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-create-ldap-entitytype -DWasPassword=password

    from the profile_root/ConfigEngine directory, to create an LDAP entity type.

  6. Propagate the security changes:

    Option Description
    Standalone

    1. cd profile_root/bin
      ./stopServer.sh server1 -username admin_userid -password admin_password

    2. cd profile_root/bin
      ./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password admin_password

    3. cd profile_root/bin
      ./startServer.sh server1

    4. cd profile_root/bin
      ./startServer.sh WebSphere_Portal

    Cluster

    1. cd dmgr_profile/bin
      ./stopManager.sh-username admin_userid -password admin_password

    2. cd profile_root/bin
      ./stopNode.sh -username admin_userid -password admin_password

    3. cd profile_root/bin
      ./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password admin_password

    4. cd dmgr_profile/bin
      ./startManager.sh

    5. cd profile_root/bin
      ./startNode.sh

    6. cd profile_root/bin
      ./startServer.sh WebSphere_Portal

  7. Edit...

      profile_root/ConfigEngine/properties/wkplc.properties

  8. Enter a value for the following parameters under the VMM LDAP entity type configuration heading:

  9. Save changes to wkplc.properties.

  10. Run...

      ./ConfigEngine.sh wp-add-ldap-entitytype-rdn -DWasPassword=password

    from the profile_root/ConfigEngine directory, to add an LDAP entity type with a relative distinguished name.

  11. Propagate the security changes:

    Option Description
    Standalone cd profile_root/bin
    ./stopServer.sh server1 -username admin_userid -password admin_password
    ./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password admin_password
    ./startServer.sh server1
    ./startServer.sh WebSphere_Portal
    Cluster cd dmgr_profile/bin
    ./stopManager.sh-username admin_userid -password admin_password
    cd profile_root/bin
    ./stopNode.sh -username admin_userid -password admin_password
    ./stopServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -username admin_userid -password admin_password
    cd dmgr_profile/bin
    ./startManager.sh
    cd profile_root/bin
    ./startNode.sh
    ./startServer.sh WebSphere_Portal

If you performed these steps after creating the clustered environment, run enable-jcr-security on the secondary node.
