Restoring the VMM setup with a federated file repository on Windows

If your business needs change or something happens to make the user registry configuration inoperable, you can run the wp-restore-default-repository-configuration task to restore the default VMM setup with a federated file repository, which will allow you to reconfigure the user registry to meet your business needs. The task deletes all existing repositories, creates a new realm, and configures a file repository in VMM. The task also creates a new user and a new user group, which is set to portal and WAS administrators.

Perform the following steps to restore the default VMM setup with a federated file repository:

1. Edit...
   profile_root/ConfigEngine/properties/wkplc.properties

2. Set the following parameters in wkplc.properties under the Restore VMM security heading:
   • restore.file.realm
   • restore.file.delimiter
   • restore.file.primaryAdminId
   • restore.file.primaryAdminPassword
   • restore.file.primaryPortalAdminGroup

3. Save changes to wkplc.properties.

4. Run...
   ConfigEngine.bat wp-restore-default-repository-configuration -DWasPassword=password task, from the profile_root/ConfigEngine directory, to restore the default repository.
   • Propagate the security changes:

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

   • Run...
     ConfigEngine.bat wp-restore-default-repository-add-group-member -DWasPassword=password

     ...to restore the default repository.

   • 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.
