If you want to manage and authenticate the resource
manager administrator ID through LDAP, then you must import the contents
of cmbcmenv.properties file into the RMCONFIGURATION
table of the resource manager database. The default resource manager
administrator ID is rmadmin.
The contents of the cmbcmenv.properties file are imported into the RMCONFIGURATION table if the file exists
in the required location and the resource manager application server
is restarted. The file is imported every time that you restart the
resource manager application server.
Important: After
the LDAP configuration is initially imported to the resource manager,
you might need to change the LDAP configuration on the resource manager.
To make the changes to the LDAP configuration, you must delete the
version of the cmbcmenv.properties file that
is on the resource manager. Then make the changes directly in the
RMCONFIGURATION table. If you leave the incorrect cmbcmenv.properties file on the resource manager, incorrect data is imported into the
RMCONFIGURATION table the next time that the resource manager application
server is restarted. To avoid a loss of the changes made to the LDAP
configuration, always delete the properties file from the resource
manager after the initial import and make any changes in the RMCONFIGURATION
table.
Tip: If the resource manager is upgraded
from Version 8.3, then the LDAP configuration is automatically migrated
into the RMCONFIGURATION table.
To install the properties file on the resource manager
and import the data into the RMCONFIGURATION table:
- Copy the generated cmbcmenv.properties file from the directory pointed to by the IBMCMROOT/CMGMT environment variable on the system administration client machine
to the following directory on the resource manager. The
following example shows the path for Windows:
WAS_PROFILE_HOME\installedApps\node_name\icmrm.ear\icmrm.war\WEB-INF\classes
\com\ibm\mm\icmrm
In the path, the icmrm.ear file name is the default resource manager application name (the
installation default name).
- Edit the cmbcmenv.properties file
on the resource manager and change all encrypted passwords to clear
text passwords.
Important: The change password
request function in the LDAP server is not supported. You must use
the administrative tool of the LDAP server (for example, the Directory
Management tool of IBM® Directory)
to change the password yourself.
- To import the properties into the RMCONFIGURATION table
in the resource manager database, restart the resource manager application
server.
