Configuring the local operating system or standalone custom user account repository

You can configure your user account repository using the administrative console. The steps for configuring the local operating system, which is the default, or a standalone custom user account registry are similar.

About this task

You can choose to allow WebSphere® ESB to automatically generate a server user identity or you can specify one from the user account repository that you are employing. The latter choice improves auditability of administrative actions.
Procedure
  1. From the administrative console, open the configuration page for your user registry.

    Expand Security, click Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure, and select the user registry that you are employing under the Available realm definitions menu. Click Configure.

  2. Optional: Enter a valid user name in the Primary administrative user name field.

    This value is the name of a user with administrative privileges that is defined in the registry. This user name is used to access the administrative console. It is also used by the wsadmin command.

  3. Select either the Automatically generated server identity or Server identity that is stored in the repository option.
    • If you select Automatically generated server identity, the application server generates the server identity that is used for internal process communication.

      You can change this server identity on the Authentication mechanisms and expiration page. To access the Authentication mechanisms and expiration page, click Security > Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure > Authentication mechanisms and expiration. Change the value of the Internal server ID field.

    • If you select the Server identity that is stored in the repository option, enter the following information:
      • For Server user ID or administrative user on a Version 6.0.x node, specify a user ID that is used to run the application server for security purposes.
      • For Password, specify the password associated with this user.
  4. Optional: For standalone custom registries only, perform the following steps:
    1. Verify that the value in the Custom registry class name is correct, or change it if necessary.
    2. Select or remove the check from Ignore case for authentication.

      When you select this option, the authorization check is case insensitive.

  5. Click Apply.
  6. From the bottom of the Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure page, click Set as current.
  7. Click OK and either Apply or Save.
