Steps for selecting SAF Authorization

Before you begin

Before configuring SAF authorization you need to know the user name (ID) and password that are used here. This user can be any valid user in the registry. This user is referred to as either a product security server ID, a server ID or a server user ID in the documentation. Having a server ID means that a user has special privileges when calling protected internal methods.

Why and when to perform this task

You need to start the Administrative Console by specifying URL: http://<server_hostname>:9090/admin

Steps for this task

  1. Click Security > User Registry > Local OS > SAF Authorization, and then click the Authorization box.
  2. Enter the server user ID and password.
    This ID is the security server ID, which is only used for WebSphere Application Server security and is not associated with the system process that runs the server. The server calls the Local OS registry to authenticate and obtain privilege information about users by calling the native APIs in that particular registry.
  3. Click OK.
