Connecting to a user registry component

You can connect a Decision Center component or a Decisions component to an existing Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) with IBM® Tivoli® Directory Server.

In the Virtual Application Builder window, complete the following steps.

1. In the left panel of the window, expand the User Registry Components list of assets.
2. Select the component Existing User Registry (IBM Tivoli Directory Server) or User Registry (Tivoli Directory Server) and drag it in the canvas.
3. Link the Decision Center and Decisions components to the user registry component. To make a connection between an application component and the existing user registry, hover over the blue circle on the application component in the canvas. When the blue circle turns yellow, draw a connection between the application component and the existing user registry.
4. In the right panel of the window, edit the User Registry or Existing User Registry properties (depending on the component you are connecting to), as needed.
5. In the canvas, click the link between a Decisions or a Decision Center component and a user registry component.
6. In the right panel, specify the users and groups to be mapped to the various Decision Center and Decisions roles (administrator, deployer, installer, user, for example).

   If you do not fill the rules role mappings, the roles are mapped to the groups defined in the File Registry. If you do not fill the events role mappings, the roles are mapped to the WebSphere® Application Server administrator that is defined in the File Registry.

7. Save and deploy the pattern.
