Custom user registry settings
Use this page to configure the custom user registry.
To view this administrative console page, click Security > User
Registries > Custom.
After the properties are set in this panel, click Apply. Use the
Properties panel for additional properties that the custom registry requires.
When security is enabled and any of these properties change, go to the Global
Security panel and click Apply to validate the changes.
Configuration tab
- Server User ID
- Specifies the user ID under which the server runs, for security
purposes.
This server ID represents a valid user in the custom registry.
- Server User Password
- Specifies the password corresponding to the security server ID.
- Custom Registry Classname
- Specifies a dot-separated class name that implements the com.ibm.websphere.security.UserRegistry
interface.
Put the custom registry class name in the class path. A suggested location
is the %install_root%/lib/ext directory. Although the custom
registry implements the com.ibm.websphere.security.UserRegistry interface,
for backward compatibility, a user registry can alternately implement the
com.ibm.websphere.security.CustomRegistry interface.

Custom Properties to add any additional properties required
to initialize the custom registry. The following property is predefined by
the product; set this property when required only:
- WAS_UseDisplayName--When set to true, the getCallerPrincipal(),
getUserPrincipal(), and getRemoteUser() methods return the display name. By
default, the securityName of the user is returned. This default is introduced
to support backward compatibility with the Version 4.0 custom registry.
