IBM WebSphere V5.0 Security - CGISecurity

1. First, log in with your favorite browser to the Web Portal Manager at:
https:///pdadmin
Note: We access the Web Portal Manager using an SSL connection.
When the Web Portal Manager is configured, it disables http access to the
system; only https connections are allowed.
2. Add a user entry for wasadmin. Select User -> Create from the navigation
bar, then provide the following information:
User ID: wasadmin
Password and Confirm Password: password
Description: WAS LDAP admin ID
First Name: WebSphere
Last Name: Administrator
Registry UID: cn=wasadmin,o=itso
Select the Is Account Valid, No Password Policy and Is Password Valid
check boxes.
Once you have finished with the above entries, click the Create button. The
user will be added to the directory, and WPM will display a confirmation
message indicating that the user entry has been created.
3. Now that the wasadmin user has been added to the registry, we must set the
appropriate access rights for it in the IBM Directory Server. To do this, we use
the Directory Management Tool (DMT), which is included in the IBM Directory
Server client component. Click the Add Server button on the DMT panel,
provide the following connection information, then click OK.
Server name: dirsrv01
Port: 389
Authentication type: Simple
User DN: cn=root
User password: password
4. We will now proceed to add the access rights for the user wasadmin. Select
the suffix under which your user entries are defined for WebSpherein this
case: o=itso.
5. Click the ACL button, the Edit an LDAP ACL window will be displayed.
