Configuring user access with WebSphere Application Server

You can configure which users can access the Warehouse Administration Console by using WebSphere® Application Server.

Before you begin

Log in to WebSphere Application Server. For example:
  • On Windows: From the Start menu, click All Programs > IBM WebSphere > Application Server Version > Profiles > AppSrv01 > Administrative console.
  • From a Web browser, type: http://host_name:9060/ibm/console
Tip: If port number 9060 is already taken, you can find the default port number in the portdef.props file in the following location: WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\properties. The default port number for WebSphere Application Server is specified by the WC_adminhost property.
Attention: At the completion of this task, the WebSphere Administrative Console automatically restarts the Warehouse Administration Console. Therefore, plan accordingly and consider doing this task during down time.

Procedure

To configure user access to the Warehouse Administration Console:

  1. Open the Enterprise Application page. Click Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise application
  2. Click IBMDataToolsWeb.
  3. Under Detail Properties, click Security role to user/group mapping.
  4. Select the Administrator, Operator, or Viewer role check box, and then click Map groups. Alternatively, you can click Map users if you want to give access to specific users. For more information on user roles, see Types of user roles.
  5. Search for groups by using the wildcard * in the Search string field and clicking Search.
  6. From the list of available groups, select and add those to whom you want to give access to the Administration Console, and then click OK.
  7. In the Security role to user/group mapping panel, click OK, and then click Save to save directly to the master configuration.
  8. Restart WebSphere Application Server to activate the security role mapping.
User access to the Warehouse Administration Console is now configured.
