An application server administrator used while configuring
Content Platform Engine.
- Application server administrator
- Unique identifier
- appserver_admin
- Description
- WebSphere® Application
Server
In Configuration Manager, when you run the Set Properties for WebSphere Application
Server task, enter the credentials of the
appserver_admin account in the field labeled Application server
administrator user name. Configuration Manager uses the
appserver_admin account to run configuration tasks.
- WebSphere administrative security is enabled
- You have two options for creating the appserver_admin user account. You can
use the local file-based account usually defined while creating the WebSphere profile. Or, you can use WebSphere
tools to grant administrative rights to an LDAP account and optionally remove the file-based account
created earlier.
- The appserver_admin user account must have WebSphere administrator permissions throughout the Content Platform Engine installation process. Afterwards, you can reduce the account
to a lesser role, such as Configurator.
- WebSphere administrative security is not enabled
- If you decide not to enable WebSphere administrative security
during profile creation, then no special credentials are required to log in to the WebSphere administrative console. You can enter any string into the
Configuration Manager field labeled Application server administrator user
name. However, remember that to run Content Platform Engine,
WebSphere administrative security must be enabled. When you do enable
it and the WebSphere administrative console requests an account to
use as the administrative user, enter the appserver_admin.
- Oracle WebLogic Server
In Configuration Manager, when you run the Set Properties for Oracle WebLogic Server task, enter the credentials of the
appserver_admin account in the field labeled Application server
administrator user name. Configuration Manager uses the
appserver_admin account to run configuration tasks.
This user is defined when you create a new WebLogic domain. The WebLogic Configuration wizard
requires you to enter the Administrator user name and password. This user is created as an internal
WebLogic application, file-based account. (It is not an LDAP or operating system account.) Use the
appserver_admin account to log in to the Oracle WebLogic Server administration console.
- JBoss
- Content Platform Engine does not require a JBoss administrative account.
