HCL Workload Automation, Version 9.4

A typical configuration scenario

About this task

In a complex environment, you might want to use the following scenario to configure your chosen authentication mechanism across your workload scheduling environment:
  1. Use the changeSecurityProperties script to configure the mechanism on one instance of WebSphere Application Server, for example that installed with the master domain manager.
  2. Test that you can log in using the configured authentication with several user IDs.
  3. On that instance run the showSecurityProperties script and save the output to create a text template file containing the configuration. showSecurityProperties extracts only those configurations that have been created by using the changeSecurityProperties.
  4. On each of these systems where you want to configure authentication
    • Copy the text template file created in the previous step.
    • Run showSecurityProperties and save the output file.
    • Merge this output file with the configuration template file.
    • Run changeSecurityProperties to update the WebSphere Application Server configuration.
    • Test that you can log in using the configured authentication with several user IDs.
