Managing your user registry on AIX®

After you install and deploy IBM® WebSphere® Portal, which includes installing and configuring the user registry, you can manage the user registry by running various updates and delete tasks. These tasks include, but are not limited to, adding a property extension (lookaside) database, updating or deleting the entity type, and deleting the registry.

About this task

Complete the following tasks to configure security:
  • Updating your user registry on AIX
    After you deploy IBM WebSphere Portal, you might need to adjust your stand-alone LDAP user registry or to your federated user repository configurations. You can update these configurations to achieve the user registry configuration.
  • Deleting your user registry configurations on AIX
    After you deploy IBM WebSphere Portal, you might find that you no longer need some of the LDAP entity types, realms, realm base entries, repositories that you created. You can delete these configurations to achieve the user registry configuration.
  • Restoring the VMM setup with a federated file repository on AIX
    If your business needs change or something happens to make your user registry configuration inoperable, you can run the wp-restore-default-repository-configuration task to restore the default VMM setup with a federated file repository, which will allow you to re-configure your user registry to meet your business needs. The task deletes all existing repositories, creates a new realm, and configures a file repository in VMM. The task also creates a new user and a new user group, which is set to portal and WAS administrators.
