Creating default registry policy associations

You want to have all your Microsoft Active Directory users on the Windows server map to the user profile, SYSUSERA, on System A and to the user profile, SYSUSERB, on System B.

Fortunately, you can use policy associations to create mappings directly between a group of users and a single target user identity. In this case, you can create a default registry policy association the maps all the user identities (for which no identifier associations exist) in the MYCO.COM Kerberos registry to a single IBM® i user profile on System A.

You need two policy associations to accomplish this goal. Each policy association uses the MYCO.COM user registry definition as the source of the association. However, each policy association maps user identities in this registry to different target user identities, depending on which IBM i model the Kerberos user accesses:
  • One policy association maps the Kerberos principals in the MYCO.COM user registry to a target user of SYSUSERA in the target registry of SYSTEMA.MYCO.COM.
  • The other policy association maps the Kerberos principals in the MYCO.COM user registry to a target user of SYSUSERB in the target registry of SYSTEMB.MYCO.COM.

Use the information from your planning works sheets to create two default registry policy associations.

Note: Before you can use policy associations, however, you must first ensure that you enable the domain to use policy associations for mapping lookup operations. You can do this as part of the process for creating your policy associations, as follows:
  1. In IBM Navigator for i on System A, expand IBM i Management > Security > All Tasks > Enterprise Identity Mapping.
  2. Click Domain Management.
  3. Right-click MyCoEimDomain, and select Mapping policy.
  4. On the General page, select the Enable mapping lookups using policy associations for domain MyCoEimDomain.

Follow these steps to create the default registry policy association for the users to map to the SYSUSERA user profile on System A:

  1. On the Registry page, click Add.
  2. In the Add Default Registry Policy Association dialog box, specify or Browse to select the following information, and click OK:
    • Source registry: MYCO.COM
    • Target registry: SYSTEMA.MYCO.COM
    • Target user: SYSUSERA
  3. Click OK to close the Mapping Policy dialog box.

    Follow these steps to create the default registry policy association for the users to map to the SYSUSERB user profile on System B:

  4. On the Registry page, click Add.
  5. In the Add Default Registry Policy Association dialog box, specify or Browse to select the following information, and click OK:
    • Source registry: MYCO.COM
    • Target registry: SYSTEMB.MYCO.COM
    • Target user: SYSUSERB
  6. Click OK to close the Mapping Policy dialog box.

Now that you have created the default registry policy associations, you can enable the registries to participate in lookup operations and to use the policy associations.
