How do you add a WebSphere Console user (8.5.5)

Dan England (8●2●4) | asked Sep 02 '16, 12:04 p.m.
 I have CLM 5.0.2 running on WS 8.5.5 using LDAP. The WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console is locked down and requires a valid log on. How do I add additional users so they can log onto the console?

Thanks,
Dan

I usually add Admin groups.   There is the primary admin ID which is the ID that first connects when security is configured.  I add our JazzAdmin group as an Administrator for the console.

Click on Administrative Group Roles in the Global Security section.   Click the Add button.  Choose Administrator in the selection list then search for some group in the search box and move the item(s) to the right pane and save.  There is also Administrative User Roles that could be used.

I think you'll need to recycle WebSphere after updating.

Do the following:

Locate security.xml under the WebSphere configuration, make a backup copy of it.  Open in an editor and locate

primaryAdminId=

that is associated with LDAPUserRegistry ( e.g.
<userRegistries xmi:type="security:LDAPUserRegistry" xmi:id="LDAPUserRegistry_1"  .... primaryAdminId="old_id" .... )

change the value in quotes to your ID ( hopefully the original and yours will be in the same Realm )

Stop/start WebSphere
