Federated repository wizard settings

Use this security wizard page to complete the basic requirements to connect the application server to a federated repository. To view this security wizard page, complete the following steps

1. Click Security > Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure > Security configuration wizard.

2. Select your protection settings and click Next.

3. Select the Federated repositories option and click Next.

You can modify your federated repository configuration by completing the following steps:

1. Click Security > Security administration, applications, and infrastructure.

2. Under User account repository, select Federated repository and click Configure.

Note: This wizard is used for the initial configuration of a built-in, file-based repository. The user name and password do not have to be in the federated repository because they will be created. If you have previously configured federated repositories, do not use the Security configuration wizard to modify your configuration. Instead, modify your configuration using the Federated repositories selection under User account repository on the Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure panel.

Primary administrative user name

Specifies the name of the user with administrative privileges that is defined in the repository, for example, adminUser. The user name is used to log on to the administrative console when administrative security is enabled. V6.1 requires an administrative user that is distinct from the server user identity so that administrative actions can be audited. Attention: In WebSphere Application Server, Versions 5.x and 6.0.x, a single user identity is required for both administrative access and internal process communication. When migrating to V6.1, this identity is used as the server user identity. You need to specify another user for the administrative user identity.

Password

Password of the administrative user who manages the product resources and user accounts.

Confirm password

Confirms the password of the administrative user who manages the product resources and user accounts.
