Primary administrative user name for WAS7?

Don't understand. As you can see, I just installed WAS7 and login as the default id "admin" with no password. I didn't create any profile (don't know what's that). I know I better read everything in your link, just don't have time.

This default "admin" is not in our AD/LDAP for sure. From the doc, seems we need an id exists in AD. I used a non-AD/lcoal admin called RTCAdmin to install WAS.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

You could also look into the Upgrade workshop, that talks about profiles in Lab 2 and shows how deployment works in Lab 3-5: https://jazz.net/library/article/662

Basically you install WAS using a windows user which makes sure the windows rights are there. When installing WAS it creates one profile (which you are in). when creating that WAS asks for an ADMIN user which you use to log in. If you have admin blank then that is the same you use in the LDAP settings.

If you deploy on WAS and have never done it, a wrong click can get you into trouble. Please take the time to read the documentation carefully.

I didn't give an admin user while installing WAS, and I used "admin/blank" to login to WAS to do all these security settings. So I guess I will use "admin" for this field. Now I have a problem after restart WAS:

1. I can't login using admin/blank. So I guess I lost the primary administrative accout?

2. What's the purpose of this primary adminstrative user name? I can use this to login WAS, right? I can add new admins to Global security > Administrative user roles, right? I've added a couple after integrated with LDAP.

3. I can login with these LDAP user now, but don't see all functions. e.g. can't add more admin ids now.

How can I get back the primary administrative account?

Sorry, i am not a WAS expert - I know enough to get along.

As far as my experience reaches I create the profile with an administration account that is independent from any windows user. WAS does not look into the windows credentials.

Configure this value in the following format: "https://<public_hostname><port>/<context>" (e.g. https://host.my.company.net:9443/jts)

My Jazz server computer name is: CYS001
Full Computer name is:CYS001.cihs.gov.ca
Domain is:cihs.gov.ca

I can use https://cys001:9443/jts to access from my desktop, but I can't ping CYS001.cihs.gov.ca, neither I can access https://cys001cihs.gov.ca:9443/jts.

So what shall be my Public URI?

Thanks

As the setup wizard indicates: https://cys001cihs.gov.ca:9443/jts if that is your host. Better would be a machine independent alias such as jts.jazz.gov.ca

You should talk to your network people which host name the machine has that DNS resolves..
