Maximo LDAP - LDAPSYNC Filtering and Configuration
This is the second part to go with my previous blog on VMMSYNC, except this time we're going to be discussing LDAPSYNC. There is a lot of overlap between the two processes so there will be some information repeated here from VMMSYNC, however it will be focusing on LDAPSYNC instead. If you're looking for the discussion on VMMSYNC you can find it here: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/a9ba1efe-b731-4317-9724-a181d6155e3a/entry/Maximo_LDAP_VMMSYNC_Filtering_and_Configuration?lang=en Edit: Missed the section on custom...

MAXADMIN, MAXREG and MXINTADM
Can we change the maxadmin, maxreg and mxintadmin username ? That's not a recommendation that we can give you. What happens is that once you change those usernames in your Maximo environment users will be already created, and Maximo installation process will probably fail with the following error message: Error: CTGIN2080E: Process automation engine database configuration failed. The recommendation in this case, is that you do NOT change the username info for those users while installing Maximo. Thanks and Good luck!

Preventing 'normal' users accessing Maximo during configuration changes and testing
OverView Sometimes an admin needs to make some changes or maybe even to test some changes in their Maximo system and needs to prevent the 'normal' users from accessing the system, potentially corrupting the data during the config or testing and generally making a nuisance of themselves ( or working , as they like to call it ). There is a function called Admin Mode available in Maximo and this can be set up to allow one or more Administrative users to access the system locally while preventing 'normal' users from... [More]

Connecting to Maximo with a Proxy, are users being signed out immediately?
I was recently working an issue where a reverse proxy was configured with Maximo using IBM Edge. After the proxy was configured all users logging into Maximo via the proxy were being automatically redirected to the sign-out page (exit.jsp). I ran several tests, including logging in with the same users via the IHS and the Web Container port directly. The users could log in fine this way, so the problem appeared by be directly related to the proxy. Maximo has a table called LOGINBLOCK , this table contains IP addresses that have been... [More]

Maximo and LDAP - Switch it up, filter in WebSphere.
So you've configured or are configuring Maximo to authenticate with a directory server. You've set the base entries to determine which Organizational Unit's you will be bringing into your repository and you realize; you don't want all the users in each of the OU's to have the option to authenticate (in all authenticated mapping), you don't want to configure base entries for many different OU's bringing in users you don't need to exist in the repository, you may just want users from a specific group be brought in...

VMMSYNC workings and how to look at debug logs.
QUICK OVERVIEW ......... If you know how it works and just want to look at logging, look below for 'Basic Debugging' VMMSYNC is a crontask provided within Maximo products. As with all crontasks it can be set to run at regular intervals. The crontask makes contact with a component of WebSphere called VMM (Virtual Member Manager) via API calls. The calls will be actioned against a federated repository and will request information on users, groups and group assignments from within the federated repository. The... [More]

BiLog: Users...Maximo Business Intelligence Packs
They are not for everyone. Some people cringe or run away quickly when seeing them – while others embrace the beauty of these amazing succulent plants. Likewise, the new Maximo Business Intelligence (BI) Packs introduced here are not intended for every user in your environment. Its functionality targets a specific segment of your users. And giving this tool to that segment of users will enable them to dynamically and efficiently analyze Maximo data. As detailed in these BiLogs earlier, we often place Maximo users... [More]

BiLog: Pyramids...Maximo Report Users
When faced with choices , I often try to remember the food pyramid when deciding between a decadent red velvet cookie and a crunchy Kale chip. Consume large quantities of green leafy vegetables, and small quantities of delicious sugary treats the pyramid reminds me – while my stomach violently disagrees. Likewise, a pyramid is key to understanding Maximo report users. When we talk about Maximo users in terms of reporting and data analysis – we put them in the five categories shown here. These categories are based on the user’s job... [More]

Changing Security Authorizations - Like Moving Mountains...
As organizations security requirements evolve over time, it
may become necessary to re-think your user roles. It is difficult to balance
the need for granular access to application functionality and data with
performance and administration overhead. Many customers have decided to
simplify their configuration and there are some tools within the system that
can help with this process. First, there is a Security Groups Report within the Security
Groups application. This report can be run for a group or a user and will show
everything that... [More]
