Configuring the user repository

If you want to use an ObjectServer as the user repository and you did not install this ObjectServer with the Network Manager installation, then you must run scripts to configure the users and assign roles to these users.

About this task

To configure the ObjectServer as the user repository, perform the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Log into the machine where the Network Manager GUI components are located.
  2. Source the Network Manager GUI environment variables.
  3. Go to the $WAS_HOME/bin directory.
  4. Create the users by running the following command:
    ./wsadmin.sh -conntype SOAP -user jazz_admin_name -password jazz_admin_password -lang jython -f $NMGUI_HOME/bin/scripts/users.py itnmadmin_password
    Where:
    • jazz_admin_name is the administrator username for Jazz for Service Management. By default, this is smadmin.
    • jazz_admin_password is the administrator password for Jazz for Service Management.
    • itnmadmin_password is the password for both the itnmadmin and itnmuser accounts.
  5. Assign roles to users and to user groups by running the following command:
     $NMGUI_HOME/bin/assigns_users_to_roles -u jazz_admin_name -p jazz_admin_password -r
    Where:
    • jazz_admin_name is the administrator username for Jazz for Service Management.
    • jazz_admin_password is the administrator password for Jazz for Service Management.
    • -r is a flag to rebuild the list of user identifiers. Specifying this flag instructs the script to assign roles to the Jazz for Service Management administrator user (by default, smadmin) as well as to all of the Network Manager users and groups.
