User registry considerations
The user registry stores information that is used to authenticate users using basic authentication. Your choice of user registry is an essential consideration when planning your environment. You must configure WebSphere® Application Server to use the user registry in your environment.
The user registry stores information that is used to authenticate users requesting access to IBM® Business Monitor. You can configure multiple user registry types under federated repositories. Most production deployments use a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server. For small deployments that are contained on a single server, you can use a file-based user registry.
You can select any of the following registry for your user account
repository:
- Federated Repositories
- Local operating system
- Standalone Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) registry
- Standalone custom registry
Note: For fine-grained security, the supported user registries are
federated repositories (file-based), federated repositories (LDAP),
and standalone LDAP registry.
