A user ID must be created on each library server.
Each library server has a set of users who can access
objects through it. You can limit a user's access to objects by assigning
a privilege set when you create that user. If a user must access more
than one library server within the IBM® Content Manager system, you must create
a user ID on each library server that the user must access. The user
ID can be the same on every server, but each user ID must be unique
within one library server.
Tip: When you create a user
ID, the system automatically assigns it to a predefined user group
called, ICMPUBLC. So, if you want to see all user
IDs defined to the system, you can view this user group.
To
create a user ID:
- Expand Authentication in the tree view.
- Right-click Users and click New.
The New User window opens.
- On the Define Users page, in the User name field,
type:
- up to 32 alphanumeric characters for the user ID if the database
is on Windows
- one to eight alphanumeric characters if the database is on z/OS® or, if LDAP is used for authentication,
one to fifteen alphanumeric characters
- one to fifteen alphanumeric characters if any resource manager
for this library server is on z/OS
User IDs are not case-sensitive and can contain NLV characters.
Optional: Click LDAP to import users stored
in the LDAP directory server into your system
- Type a user description to help you identify the user. If you
have configured your LDAP server, you can use the user description
that the LDAP server has for user IDs by selecting the Obtain
from LDAP check box.
- If administrative domains are enabled, in the Domain list,
select a domain to which the user belongs. For example, PUBLIC or
RESTRICTED.
- Select the Use system password check
box if you want the password for this user to be the password defined
for the operating system. Select this check box only if you want this
user to be a superadministrator. You do not need to assign a subadministrator
an operating system password because they cannot change settings on
the server. After selecting this check box, the Password, Confirm
password, and Password expiration fields
are disabled.
- In the Password field, type 1 to 32 alphanumeric
characters as the password. When you type this password, this field
displays an asterisk (*) for each character. Re-type the password
in the Confirm password field.
- In the Password expiration field, click At
next logon to specify that the password expires immediately
when the user logs on. Click After and enter
a number to specify that the password expires after a certain number
of days. Click Use system default time to specify
that the password expiration is controlled in the system defined table.
- From the Privilege set list, select a privilege
set to assign the user. (Privilege sets define a user maximum ability
to use the system.) You cannot assign a privilege set to a user group.
If you do not see an existing privilege set that applies to this user
ID, you can create a privilege set by clicking Create Privilege
Set. In the New Privilege Set Definition window, you can
define a new privilege set to add to the privilege set list.
- Click OK to save the new user information
and close the window.
Requirement: If you have more
than one resource manager connected to the library server, you must
select the default resource manager where the new user stores objects.
