MobileFirst Operations Console configuration details

The console is packaged as a WAR application for you to deploy to the application server. You need to make some specific configurations for this application.

Before you proceed, review Manual installation on WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment for the configuration details that are common to all services.

The console WAR file is in mfp_install_dir/MobileFirstServer/mfp-admin-ui.war.

You can define the context root as you want. However, usually it is /mfpconsole.

Mandatory JNDI properties

You can set JNDI properties with the WebSphere Application Server administration console. Go to Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications > application_name > Environment entries for Web modules and set the entries.

You need to define the mfp.admin.endpoint property. The typical value for this property is *://*:*/<adminContextRoot>.

For more information about the JNDI properties, see JNDI properties for MobileFirst Operations Console.

Security roles

The following roles are defined for the application:
  • mfpadmin
  • mfpdeployer
  • mfpmonitor
  • mfpoperator
Any user that is mapped to a security role of the console must also be mapped to the same security role of the administration service.
