Indicating to InfoSphere Information Server that the user registry is shared

After you have configured the shared user registry, use the IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server Web console to indicate the new configuration to InfoSphere Information Server.

Before you begin

  • You must have suite administrator authority.
  • You must ensure that the user registry that you are sharing is the same for both the services tier and the engine tier, and that no credential mapping is required.

Procedure

  1. In the InfoSphere Information Server Web console, click the Administration tab.
  2. In the Navigation pane, select Domain Management > Engine Credentials.
  3. Select the InfoSphere Information Server engine that you have configured to use the same user registry as InfoSphere Information Server.
  4. Click Open Configuration.
  5. In the configuration pane, select Share User Registry between InfoSphere Information Server and its engine.
  6. Click Save and Close.

What to do next

Grant your users access to IBM InfoSphere DataStage® and IBM InfoSphere QualityStage®. After you indicate to InfoSphere Information Server that the user registry is shared, all credential mapping menus are disabled and you do not need to define any additional mappings. The same user name and password that is used to log in to InfoSphere Information Server is used to run data integration jobs in the engine.
