Supported entity types settings

Use this page to configure entity types that are supported by the member repositories.

To view this administrative console page, complete the following steps:
  1. In the administrative console, click Security > Global security.
  2. Under User account repository, select Federated repositories from the Available realm definitions field and click Configure. To configure for a specific domain in a multiple security domain environment, click Security domains > domain_name. Under Security Attributes, expand User Realm, and click Customize for this domain. Select the Realm type as Federated repositories and then click Configure.
  3. Under Additional properties, click Supported entity types.
  4. Click the name of a configured entity type to view or change its configuration.

You must configure the supported entity types before you can manage this account with Users and Groups in the administrative console. The Base entry for the default parent determines the repository location where entities of the specified type are placed on write operations by user and group management.

When you finish adding or updating your federated repository configuration, go to the Security > Global security panel and click Apply to validate the changes.
