Configuring a virtual member manager custom repository

You can configure IBM® virtual member manager to use a custom repository to be the directory service for Content Cortex.

Before you begin

For Custom user repositories, you must provide an adapter which implements the com.ibm.wsspi.wim.Repository interface. While IBM will support these custom configurations, you must be prepared to work with the vendor who provided the custom adapter implementation, as well as the underlying user repository. IBM Support cannot take responsibility for issues that require changes to either the adapter or the underlying user repository.

About this task

This task describes the values you should provide while you carry out steps that are described elsewhere. It is assumed that you have already provided a custom repository populated with the user and group accounts required by your application.
