Custom user registry settings

Configure the custom user registry.

To view this administrative console page, complete the following steps:
  1. Click Security > Global security.
  2. Under User registries, click Custom.
After the properties are set in this panel, click Apply. Under Additional Properties, click Custom properties to include additional properties that the custom user registry requires. The following property is predefined by the product; set this property when required only:
WAS_UseDisplayName
When this property is set to true, the getCallerPrincipal, getUserPrincipal, and getRemoteUser methods return the display name. By default, the securityName of the user is returned. This property is introduced to support backward compatibility with the Version 4 custom user registry.

When security is enabled and any of these custom user registry settings change, go to the Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure panel and click Apply to validate the changes.
