WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus for z/OS, Version 6.2.0 Operating Systems: z/OS


Configuring a user account repository

The user names and passwords of registered users are stored in a user account repository. You can use either the user account repository of the local operating system (this is the default), the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), federated repositories, or a custom account repository.

About this task

The user account repository is the user and groups registry that the authentication mechanism consults when performing authentication. Choose a user account repository on the administrative console.
Note: In a network deployment environment, you can use either LDAP or your local operating system as your user registry.
Procedure
  1. Navigate to the Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure panel in the administrative console. Expand Security and click Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure.
  2. Select the user registry you want to use.

    The following table describes the choices of user registry and the actions required to select and configure a user registry.

    User registry Action
    Federated repositories Specify this setting to manage profiles in multiple repositories under a single realm. The realm can consist of identities in:
    • The file-based repository that is built into the system
    • One or more external repositories
    • Both the built-in, file-based repository and in one or more external repositories.
    Note: Only a user with administrator privileges can view the federated repositories configuration.
    See Managing the realm in a federated repository configuration for more information.
    Local Operating System This is the default user registry.

    Follow the instructions in Configuring the local operating system or standalone custom user account repository.

    Note: Do not use the local operating system as the user registry in a network deployment environment.
    Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Follow the instructions in Configuring Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) as the user registry to configure LDAP as your user registry.
