WebSphere® Application Server Version 7.0 distinguishes between the user identities for administrators who manage the environment and server identities for authenticating server to server communications. In most cases, server identities are automatically generated and are not stored in a repository.

Primary administrative user name

Specifies the name of a user with administrative privileges that is defined in your local operating system.

The user name is used to log on to the administrative console when administrative security is enabled..
Attention: In WebSphere Application Server, Version 6.1 and above, a single user identity is required for both administrative access and internal process communication. When migrating to Version 6.1 and above, this identity is used as the server user identity. You need to specify another user for the administrative user identity.

Automatically generated server identity

Enables the application server to generate the server identity, which is recommended for environments that contain only Version 6.1 or later nodes. Automatically generated server identities are not stored in a user repository.

Default: Enabled

Server identity that is stored in the repository

Specifies a user identity in the repository that is used for internal process communication. Cells that contain Version 6.1 or later nodes require a server user identity that is defined in the active user repository.

Default: Enabled
