Update the aliases that reference the administrative user
IDs and passwords that are used to handle server-to-server communication.
Before you begin
This task is optional.
Procedure
- To update the aliases that manage server-to-server communication,
you must edit the associated J2C authentication data for the alias.
In the WebSphere® Application
Server administration console, select .
- In the Authentication area, expand Java Authentication
and Authorization Service, and click J2C authentication
data.
- Click the connectionsAdmin alias
to edit it. You defined the current user ID and password
to use for the connectionsAdmin alias during the installation. The
user ID and password must be one of the following values:
- A valid user in the organization's LDAP service. Organizational
security requirements might require you to change this password periodically,
in which case the stored credentials must be updated to reflect the
new password.
- A user that is defined in the WebSphere Identity
Manager.
- Update the values that changed.
- Apply and save the changes.
- Restart the servers that host IBM® Connections.
- If you changed the administrative user, update the mappings
for the admin, dsx-admin, search-admin, trustedExternalApplication,
and widget-admin Java EE roles. For more information, see Switching
to unique administrator IDs for system level communication.
- Perform some additional steps to update the messaging bus
configuration, which also relies on the connectionsAdmin alias. See Updating
the messaging bus configuration when the connectionsAdmin user ID
changes for more details.
