Managing users by using a federated file-based registry

You can set up and configure the WebSphere® Application Server local file-based authentication by using a federated realm. This type of setup is especially useful when performing an evaluation.

Jazz® Team Server uses J2EE container managed authentication for login and system permissions. For application server to work, you must configure a realm with the application server. The file-based user registry is useful for testing or evaluation, because Jazz Team Server does not support importing users or mapping user roles.

• Configuring the federated repository file-based registry
• Setting up groups and users
