Solaris cluster: Preparing a SecureWay Security Server

If you plan to use a SecureWay Security Server as an LDAP user registry, you must install and set up the server so that it communicates with IBM® WebSphere® Portal.

About this task

Complete the following steps to prepare SecureWay Security Server:

Procedure

  1. Install SecureWay Security Server; refer to the IBM SecureWay Security Server for z/OS® and OS/390® for information.
  2. Complete the following steps using the Tivoli® Directory Server Web Administration Tool to create the WebSphere Portal administrative user:
    1. Optional: Complete the following steps to create a new directory suffix:
      1. Click the Server Administration folder, located in the directory server console navigation.
      2. Click the Manage Server Properties folder under the Server Administration folder and then select Suffixes on the main page.
      3. Type the Base DN name for the suffix; for example: dc=yourcompany,dc=com.
      4. Click Add.
      5. Click OK to save your changes.
    2. Open the appropriate LDIF file, located in the PortalServer_root/installer/wp.iim/ldif directory, with a text editor:
      • Use the PortalUsers.ldif file as a working example and adapted appropriately to work with your LDAP server.
      • Use the ContentUsers.ldif file for the IBM Content Manager group and user IDs if you configured IBM Content Manager.
    3. Replace every dc=yourco,dc=com with your suffix.
    4. Replace any prefixes and suffixes that are unique to your LDAP server.
    5. You can specify user names other than wpsadmin and wpsbind. For security reasons, specify nontrivial passwords for these administrator accounts.
    6. Save your changes.
    7. Follow the instructions provided with your directory server to import the LDIF file.
