How to configure authentication
About this task
LDAP can be configured in either of these ways:
- Using the WebSphere Administrative Console
- For each WebSphere Application Server profile
where you want to modify the default authentication configuration,
open theWebSphere Administrative Console and
select to configure Global Security. You choose and configure the
authentication mechanism or mechanisms you use in your environment.
See Configuring authentication using the WebSphere Administrative Console for a full description.
- Manually, using the WebSphere Application Server tools supplied with the product
- For each WebSphere Application Server profile
where you want to modify the default authentication configuration,
run a script called showSecurityProperties to create
a template containing the current security configuration. You modify
this template by adding and amending the properties that define the
authentication mechanism or mechanisms you use in your environment.
Finally, you run a script called changeSecurityProperties to
update the WebSphere Application Server security
configuration.
