Configure the JACC provider for Tivoli Access Manager using the wsadmin utility

You can use the wsadmin utility to configure Tivoli Access Manager security for WebSphere Application Server.

Overview

Verify that all the managed servers, including node agents, are started. The following configuration is performed once on the deployment manager server. The configuration parameters are forwarded to managed servers, including node agents, when a synchronization is performed. The managed servers require their own restart for the configuration changes to take effect.

Procedure

1. Start WebSphere Application Server.

2. At the wsadmin prompt, enter the following command:

   $AdminTask configureTAM -interactive You are prompted to enter the following information:

   Option	Description
   WebSphere Application Server node name	Specify a single node or enter an asterisk (*) to choose all nodes including the deployment manager.
   Tivoli Access Manager Policy Server	Enter the name of the Tivoli Access Manager policy server and the connection port. Use the format, policy_server : port. The policy server communication port is set at the time of Tivoli Access Manager configuration. The default port is 7135.
   Tivoli Access Manager Authorization Server	Enter the name of the Tivoli Access Manager authorization server. Use the format auth_server : port : priority. The authorization server communication port is set at the time of Tivoli Access Manager configuration. The default port is 7136. More than one authorization server can be specified by separating the entries with commas. 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_server1:7136:1,auth_server2:7137:2. A priority of 1 is still required when configuring against a single authorization server.
   WebSphere Application Server administrator's distinguished name	Enter the full distinguished name of the WebSphere Application Server security administrator ID, as created in Creating the security administrative user. For example: cn=wasadmin,o=organization,c=country
   Tivoli Access Manager user registry distinguished name suffix	For example: o=organization,c=country
   Tivoli Access Manager administrator's user name	Enter the Tivoli Access Manager administration user ID, as created at the time of Tivoli Access Manager configuration. This ID is usually, sec_master.
   Tivoli Access Manager administrator's user password	Enter the password for the Tivoli Access Manager administrator.
   Tivoli Access Manager security domain	Enter the name of the Tivoli Access Manager security domain that is used to store users and groups. If a security domain is not already established at the time of Tivoli Access Manager configuration, click Return to accept the default.
   Embedded Tivoli Access Manager listening port set	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 the processes. Enter the ports that are used as listening ports by Tivoli Access Manager clients, separated by a comma. If you specify a range of ports, separate the lower and higher values by a colon. For example, 7999, 9990:9999.
   Defer	Set to yes, this option defers the configuration of the management server until the next restart. Set to no, configuration of the management server occurs immediately. Managed servers are configured on their next restart.

3. When all information is entered, select F to save the configuration properties or C to cancel from the configuration process and discard entered information.
