An LDAP account to which you have granted the WebSphere Application
Server administrative role.
About this task
Create this account if it does not already
exist. The upgrade instructions tell you when to use it.
Procedure
- Create the following directory service account:
-
WebSphere
administrative console user
-
- Unique identifier
-
appserver_console_user
- Description
- The appserver_console_user account is an LDAP account to which you have
granted the WebSphere Application
Server administrative role so that it can log in to
the
WebSphere
administrative console.
-
- If your
WebSphere
repository type is Stand-alone LDAP
registry, when you run the Configuration Manager Configure LDAP task, enter the
credentials of a valid LDAP user account to be the appserver_console_user for the
entry labeled Administrative console user name. Configuration Manager grants
this account
WebSphere
administrative console administrative rights.
Alternatively, you can enter an LDAP account that you have already configured as a console
administrator.
- If your WebSphere Application
Server LDAP repository type is Federated
repositories, you can use the same user account defined as your
appserver_admin. However, if you specify a user for the Administrative
console user name that is different from appserver_admin, it must be
unique across all federated realms including the WebSphere Application
Server local
file-based repository.
Record this value in your customized Installation and Upgrade Worksheet. To find this property,
