Before you begin
Before you begin this task, implement and build the UserRegistry interface. For more information on developing custom user registries refer to the article, Developing custom user registries. The following steps are required to configure custom user registries through the administrative console.Steps for this task
Note: The sample that is provided is intended to familiarize you with this feature. Do not use this sample in an actual production environment.
Property name | Property value |
---|---|
usersFile | ${USER_INSTALL_ROOT}/myDir/users.props |
groupsFile | ${USER_INSTALL_ROOT}/myDir/groups.props |
Note: In a Network Deployment environment where multiple WebSphere Application Server processes exist (cell and multiple nodes in different machines), these properties are available for each process. Use the relative name ${USER_INSTALL_ROOT} to locate any files, as this name expands to the product installation directory. If this name is not used, ensure that the files exist in the same location in all the nodes.
Results
This step is required to set up the custom user registry and to enable security in WebSphere Application Server.Note: The security component of the WebSphere Application Server expands a selected list of variables when enabling security. See Variable settings for more detail.
