6.6.1.3.1a: Mapping roles to users with the Web console
This task is a sub-task of the application installation wizard. You might also
perform it to modify an application that is already installed. During this task, you will
map existing roles to users. It is very important that all roles in the application be assigned
to subjects (users, groups, "All Authenticated," or "Everyone") prior to starting the application
in the application server.
New roles must be added at application assembly time (prior to installation). If you are installing
this application for the first time, you might see user or group names already assigned
to the roles on this page. To assist you, these users and groups are provided as Role to
Subject "hints" by the application assembler (using the application assembly tool).
- Display the Mapping Roles to Users panel. If you are using the installation
wizard to install an application, the panel will be displayed already.
To display the panel for modifying an already installed application:
- Expand the tree
on the left side of the console to display Nodes -> hostname
-> Enterprise Applications -> application_name.
- In the property sheet for the application, locate the Modify Application
Bindings list.
- Click the Mapping Roles to Users task.
- For each role listed on the panel, specify values for the users, groups,
and special subjects.
When entering multiple user or group names in the text field, delimit each name with
a comma.
For the special subjects for each role, select "Everyone" to allow any user to perform actions matching the
specified role. Select "All Authenticated" to allow any user who has already been authenticated with
the underlying security system to perform the actions associated with the specified role.
- Click Next to display the confirmation page.
- When finished confirming the settings, click Finish. The modifications
will be saved to the EAR file for the application.
- Save your configuration.
- (Optional) To have the configuration take effect:
- Stop the server
- Start the server again.
