Configuring an entry mapping repository in a federated repository configuration
Follow this task to configure an entry mapping repository that is used to store data for managing profiles on multiple repositories.
About this task
When
you configure an entry mapping repository, you can supply a valid
data source, a direct connection configuration, or both. The system
first tries to connect by way of the data source. If the data source
is not available, then the system uses the direct access configuration.
Restriction: You cannot configure an entry mapping repository
in a mixed-version deployment manager cell.

What to do next
- After configuring the federated repositories, click Security > Global security to return to the Global security panel. Verify that Federated repositories is identified in the Current® realm definition field. If Federated repositories is not identified, select Federated repositories from the Available realm definitions field and click Set as current. To verify the federated repositories configuration, click Apply on the Global security panel. If Federated repositories is not identified in the Current realm definition field, your federated repositories configuration is not used by WebSphere Application Server.
- If you are enabling security, complete the remaining steps as specified in Enabling security for the realm. As the final step, validate this setup by clicking Apply in the Global security panel.
- Save, stop, and restart all the product servers (deployment managers, nodes, and Application Servers) for changes in this panel to take effect. If the server comes up without any problems, the setup is correct.
