HCL Workload Automation, Version 9.4

Configuring authentication using the WebSphere Application Server tools

About this task

When you install a HCL Workload Automation component that uses the WebSphere Application Server, you also install a set of WebSphere Application Server tools (also called wastools). For more general information about these tools, see Application server utilities.

You can use the application server tools to configure only the following LDAP servers:
  • Microsoft Active Directory
  • Oracle Java System Directory Server
  • IBM Directory Server
  • z/OS Integrated Security Services LDAP Server
For the other LDAP servers, follow the procedure described in Configuring authentication using the WebSphere Administrative Console.

For more information about LDAP server schema, see LDAP server schema.

To configure authentication, perform the following steps:
  1. Log in to the Dynamic Workload Console with the current WebSphere Application Server administration credentials.
  2. Back up the WebSphere Application Server configuration by using the command backupConfig.
  3. For z/OS Integrated Security Services LDAP Server, import cert.arm in the WebSphere Application Serverby running IkeyMan Java tool the following paths, depending on the operating system:
    UNIX
    /opt/HCL/<JazzSM_install_directory>/profile/bin/keyman.sh
    Windows
    C:\Program Files\HCL\<JazzSM_install_directory>\profile\bin\ikeyman.bat
    The paths refer to the default location.
  4. Dump your current security properties to a text file by using the command showSecurityProperties <text_file>
  5. Customize the security properties by editing the <text_file>. See Security properties: reference.
  6. Stop the server by using the command stopappserver, as described in the HCL Workload Automation User's Guide and Reference. To stop the server, use the original WebSphere administrator credentials.
  7. Load the new properties by using the command \<complete_path>\changeSecurityProperties <text_file>.
  8. Restart the server by using the command startappserver, as described in the HCL Workload Automation User's Guide and Reference.
