Updating the base entry on Windows

After you create your base entries, you might need to update the distinguished name (DN) in the repository that uniquely identifies the base entry name. This task applies only to federated repository configurations. This task does not update the base DN entry if you use a stand-alone repository.

Before you begin

In a stand-alone server environment, you can complete the following task when the servers are either stopped or started. In a clustered environment, start the deployment manager and node agent and verify that they are able to synchronize.

About this task

Complete the following steps to update the base entry:

Procedure

  1. Use a text editor to open the wkplc.properties file, in the wp_profile_root\ConfigEngine\properties directory.
  2. Enter a value for the following parameters in the wkplc.properties file under the VMM repository base entry configuration heading. To create more base entries within the LDAP user registry to use, when you create realms:
    • id
    • baseDN
    • nameInRepository
  3. Save your changes to the wkplc.properties file.
  4. Run the ConfigEngine.bat wp-update-base-entry -DWasPassword=password task, from the wp_profile_root\ConfigEngine directory to update a base entry in a repository.
  5. Stop and restart the appropriate servers to propagate the changes. For specific instructions, see Starting and stopping servers, deployment managers, and node agents.

What to do next

If you created your clustered environment, including the additional nodes, and then completed the steps in this task, you must now run the update-jcr-admin task on the secondary node. See the related links section for instructions.
