This option is applicable only when reconfiguring an embedded Tivoli Access Manager client or disabling an embedded TAM.

Default: Disabled
Range: Enabled or Disabled

Client listening port set

Enter the ports that are used as listening ports by TAM clients.

WebSphere Application Server needs to listen on a TCP/IP port for authorization database updates from the policy server. More than one process can run on a particular node and machine so a list of ports is required for use by the processes. If a range of ports is to be specified, separate the lower and higher values by a colon (:). Single ports and port ranges are specified on separate lines. An example list might look like the following example:

7999
9990:9999

Note: Each of the servants might need to open up a listener port.

Policy server

Enter the name, fully-qualified domain name, or IP address of the TAM policy server and the connection port.

Use the form policy_server:port. The policy server communication port was set at the time of TAM configuration. The default is 7135.

Authorization servers

Enter the name, fully-qualified domain name, or IP address of the TAM authorization server. Use the form auth_server:port:priority.

The authorization server communication port was set at the time of Tivoli Access Manager configuration - default is 7136. More than one authorization server can be specified by entering each server on a new line. Having more than one authorization server configured is useful for failover and performance. The priority value is the order of authorization server use. For example:

auth_server1.mycompany.com:7136:1
auth_server2.mycompany.com:7137:2

A priority (of 1) is still required when configuring against a single authorization server.

Administrator user name

Enter the TAM administration user ID, as created at the time of TAM configuration. This ID is usually, sec_master.

Administrator user password

Enter the TAM administration password for the user ID entered in the Administrator user name field.

User registry distinguished name suffix

Enter the distinguished name suffix for the user registry to share between TAM and WebSphere Application Server. For example:

o=organization,c=country

Security domain

Name the TAM security domain that is used to store WAS users and groups.

Specification of the TAM domain is required as more than one security domain can be created in TAM with its own administrative user. Users, groups, and other objects are created within a specific domain and are not permitted to access resources in another domain. If a security domain is not established at the time of TAM configuration, leave the value as Default.

Default: Default

Administrator user distinguished name

Enter the full, distinguished name of the WAS security administrator ID. For example,...

cn=wasadmin,o=organization,c=country
