Basic registry authentication for FTM

Authentication for the Operations and Administration Console (OAC) and RESTful APIs and SOAP Web Services uses a user registry that is configured in WebSphere® Liberty. By default, the Liberty components are configured to use the basic registry.

To change the users, passwords, and groups, FTM uses the Liberty configuration dropins folder. However, if you do not customize the basic registry, default configurations are put in the Liberty configuration dropins folder for FTM and Control Center.

The configuration that is put in the Liberty configuration dropins folder for FTM is shown in the following example XML.

<basicRegistry id="basic" realm="BasicRealm">
  <user name="fxhadmin" password="${FXH_PASSWORD}"></user>
    <group name="FTMAdmin">
      <member name="fxhadmin"></member>
    </group>
    <group name="FTMCfg">
      <member name="fxhadmin"></member>
    </group>
    <group name="FTMEdit">
      <member name="fxhadmin"></member>
    </group>
    <group name="FTMUser">
      <member name="fxhadmin"></member>
    </group>
</basicRegistry>
<administrator-role>
  <user>fxhadmin</user>
</administrator-role>

The configuration that is put in the Liberty configuration dropins folder for Control Center is shown in the following example XML.

<basicRegistry id="basic" realm="BasicRealm">
  <user name="fxhadmin" password="${FXH_PASSWORD}"></user>
</basicRegistry>
<administrator-role>
  <user>fxhadmin</user>
</administrator-role>
