IBM WebSphere Business Modeler Publishing Server Version 6.0.1 Interim Fix 3
This interim fix applies to version 6.0.1 of WebSphere Business Modeler
Publishing Server.
Installing the interim fix
Attention: If you have performed any role assignments using the
administration of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Portal Server,
these assignments are not preserved if you install Interim Fix 3. In the
installation wizard, reusing role assignments means that the role
assignments used when installing version 6.0.1 or Interim Fix 2 will be
reused. Do not install this interim fix if you want to preserve the role
assignments that were made in WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere
Portal Server. |
Some of the issues addressed by this interim fix require an update to
WebSphere Business Modeler. Anyone who publishes to WebSphere Business Modeler
Publishing Server must apply WebSphere Business Modeler Interim Fix 1a or later to their
installation of WebSphere Business Modeler. Interim Fix 1a addresses the
following issues:

To install WebSphere Business Modeler Publishing Server Version 6.0.1 Interim
Fix 3:
- Double click the
6.0.1-WB-MPubServer-IF0000003.exe file.
- In the Welcome panel, click Next.
- Type the path to where WebSphere Business Modeler Publishing Server is
installed and then click Next.
Important: If the installation directory is not correct, the
installation will fail without providing any warning or message about the
failure.
- Type the WebSphere Application Server administrator user name and password
and the WebSphere Portal Server administrator user name and password. Click
Next. If you are not sure what to type here, consult the following
settings in the <Portal install root>\config\wpconfig.properties file:
- WasUserid
- WasPassword
- PortalAdminIdShort
- PortalAdminPwd
- In the next page, select whether to reuse the role assignments from the
previous installation (version 6.0.1 or Interim Fix 2) or
to re-create the role assignments. Role assignment is where you assign users and
groups to the administrator and publisher roles.
Important: Replacing role assignments means that all existing role
assignments are deleted and replaced with the role assignments you do later in
this procedure. It is highly recommended that you select to keep the existing
role assignments if at all possible.
If you select to keep the
existing role assignments, the wizard starts installing the interim fix. Skip
steps 6 through 8 and go to
step 9. If you select to replace the role assignments, the LDAP Server Information
page opens so that you can perform steps 6 through 8.
Note: The last sentence in the panel is truncated. The full text reads:
Ensure that you assign at least one user as an administrator and one user as a
publisher.
- In the LDAP Server Information page, provide the following information:
- In the LDAP URL field, type the URL and port number of the LDAP
server. For example, type: ldap://Publishingserver.ibm.com:389
- In the Server Bind DN field, type the user ID used to bind to the
LDAP server. Consult the LDAPBindID setting in the wpconfig.properties file.
For example, type: uid=wpsbind,cn=users,dc=ibm,dc=com
- In the Server Bind Password field, type the password of the LDAP bind
ID. Consult the LDAPBindPassword setting in the wpconfig.properties file.
- In the Naming Attribute Holding User ID field, type the name of the
prefix that precedes the user ID in the LDAP server database (such as cn or
uid). The value of this parameter varies according to the type of LDAP
server that you are using. Consult the LdapUserPrefix setting in the
wpconfig.properties file.
- In the Naming Attribute Holding Group ID field, type the name of the
prefix that precedes the group ID in the LDAP server database (such as cn or
uid). The value of this parameter varies according to the type of LDAP
server that you are using. Consult the LdapGroupPrefix setting in the
wpconfig.properties file.
- In the Base of Search field, type the suffix that the LDAP server starts
its search for the users.
- In the DN Attribute ID field, type the name of the distinguished name
attribute ID. For example, type: uid
Click Next.
- In the Role assignment page, there are two fields with trees. The field on
the left contains a tree of users and groups and the field on the right
contains a tree of roles. Assign a user to the administrator role:
- In the tree of users and groups, select the user node. The node changes
to a expandable folder.
- Expand the folder to see the users in contains.
- Select a user for the administrator role.
- In the tree of roles, select the Administrator node.
- Click the > button to put the selected user in the role. The
Administrator node changes to an expanded folder and contains the user you
selected. The user is now an administrator.
- Assign the users or groups you want to have administrator or publisher
rights to the administrator or publisher roles. Assign at least one user as
an administrator and one user as a publisher. The same user can perform both
roles.
Tip: Use the >> to move all users or groups into a role. Use
the < button to remove a user or group from a role.
