Configuring Netcool Configuration Manager roles

Use this procedure if the Active Directory groups are not named IntellidenUser and IntellidenAdminUser.

Before you begin

Before proceeding, please ensure the Netcool Configuration Manager server is running.

About this task

The group names used in the procedure, SEC-Group ITNCM User and SEC-Group ITNCM Admin User, are examples and must be replaced with the actual values. Replace all occurrences of <password> in the procedure with the Intelliden user password. If Active Directory is being used to authenticate the user, use the password that is stored in Active directory, otherwise use the password that was specified during the Netcool Configuration Manager installation.

Procedure

    cd <itncm_install_dir>/eWAS/bin
    1. Issue the following command:
      ./wsadmin.sh -connType SOAP -user Intelliden -password <password> -c '$AdminApp edit "Intelliden R-Series" {-MapRolesToUsers {{"IntellidenUser" no no "" "SEC-Group ITNCM User" }} }'
    2. Issue the following command:
      ./wsadmin.sh -connType SOAP -user Intelliden -password <password> -c '$AdminApp edit "Intelliden R-Series" {-MapRolesToUsers {{"IntellidenAdminUser" no no "" "SEC-Group ITNCM Admin User" }} }'
