You can configure IBM® virtual
member manager to use a file-based repository to be the directory
service for FileNet® P8.
Before you begin
An installation of
WebSphere® Application
Server automatically
has a file repository ready to use, along with a local WebSphere administrative
user. A file-based repository can be used by about 1000 users and
50 groups. The number of groups that are defined and the number of
users per group affect the performance of searching for the group
membership of a user.
About this task
This task describes the values that you should provide while
you carry out steps that are described elsewhere. It is assumed that
you already have a file-based repository that is populated with the
user and group accounts that are required by your application.
Procedure
Configuring Content Platform Engine to
use virtual member manager file-based repositories is slightly different
from configuring a normal Content Platform Engine-LDAP
connection.
- Verify that you have a file repository in the realm:
- Log in to WebSphere Application
Server Administrative
Console as a local WebSphere administrative user.
- Navigate to .
- Make sure you see only the Base Entry o=defaultWIMFileBasedRealm.
If there are other unrelated repositories in the list, delete them,
save the change, and restart WebSphere Application
Server.
