Migrate users from Apache/Derby to WAS/DB2 in CLM 3.0.1
One answer
Hi,
the internal user database in JTS and the applications (user ID, e-mail, Name,.. ) stored in the JTS and the application databases will be migrated automatically. Please check with the infocentre (the upgrade and database section): http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v3r0m1/index.jsp
However, JTS and the applications need an authentication mechanism. Tomcat provides its file based easy to user registry that JTS can write to when creating new users. WAS does not provide that. As far as i know it provides a simple user registry but you would have to use the WAS administration console to maintain it.
I personally would rather switch to an LDAP based solution, which also allows that several servers can access the data. Doing that, you need to make sure the user ID's etc. stay identical. You can use repotools to export the users to a CSV file to have easier access to the information when setting up an LDAP solution.
