Adding users by using the WebSphere administrative console

You can manage your LDAP Federated repository users in the Manage Users > Create a User window in the WebSphere® administrative console. You can create users in the user registry with a login account.

Before you begin

Before you add users, perform the following tasks:
  • Verify that you have properly configured the LDAP user registry that contains the users that you want to assign. It is preferable to have security turned on with the user registry of your choice before beginning this process.
  • Ensure that if you change anything in the security configuration that you save the configuration and restart the application server before the changes become effective. For example, enable security or change the user registry.
Tip: When you add a user, verify that the user ID that you specify does not already exist in any user registry to avoid login issues for the new user.

About this task

If you have installed Dashboard Application Services Hub, you can configure Jazz™ for Service Management application server to manage LDAP users by using Dashboard Application Services Hub. See Managing LDAP users in the console.
