For an existing installation of IBM® Connections
with IBM
FileNet®, the connectionsAdmin user
defined in your FileNet system must be available in the
directory configuration of both FileNet and Connections.
The easiest way to accomplish this is to change to an LDAP user in a common directory
About this task
Change an existing LDAP user to be connectionsAdmin so that both Connections and FileNet can use that LDAP User. This method avoids having to
change all the credentials and SIB Bus information. Perform the following steps: Procedure
- In Websphere Application Server Integrated Solutions Console
on the FileNet server select .
- Change the connectionsAdmin user ID
to the LDAP user name you want to use (instead of the WIM account
name). Supply the credentials and then click Apply and OK.
- Restart FileNet server
(server1).
- In Websphere Application Server Integrated Solutions Console
on the Connections deployment select .
- Select the dsx-admin box and
then click Map Users
- Enter the LDAP user's name in the Search string.
- Select this name from the Available box
then click the arrow to add it to the Selected box.
- Click OK twice to save the master
configuration and then restart Communities.
- Prove the SSO connection still works.
- Open a browser session to FileNet, authenticate, and then in same browser
window change the url to Communities. You should be logged in as the
same user.
- Open a browser session to: <fileNetHostName>:<fileNetPort>/dm.
Note: The default HTTP port in FileNet is
commonly set to 80 or 9080.
- Log in with the connectionsAdmin user
you previously added.
- Change the url to: http://<connectionsHostName>/communities When the page loads you should be logged in as the same
user you just logged in on FileNet.
You should not be prompted for credentials.
