WebSphere® Application Server Version 7.0 distinguishes between
the user identities for administrators who manage the environment
and server identities for authenticating server to server communications.
In most cases, server identities are automatically generated and are
not stored in a repository.
Avoid trouble: Any settings
that are related to the System Authorization Facility (SAF) might
not be visible on this panel. To modify these settings:
- Go to the panel for SAF by clicking .
- Select System Authorization Facility (SAF) from
the drop-down list under the Authorization provider option.
- Click Configure.
gotcha
Specifies the name of a user
with administrative privileges that is defined in your local operating
system.
The user name is used to log on to the administrative console when
administrative security is enabled. Version 6.1 requires an administrative
user that is distinct from the server user identity so that administrative
actions can be audited.
Attention: In WebSphere Application Server, Versions 5.x
and 6.0.x, a single user identity is required for both administrative
access and internal process communication. When migrating to Version
6.1, this identity is used as the server user identity. You need
to specify another user for the administrative user identity.
Important: If System Authorization Facility
(SAF) authorization is enabled on the External authorization providers
panel, this field does not display.
Enables the application server to generate the server identity,
which is recommended for environments that contain only Version 6.1
or later nodes. Automatically generated server identities are not
stored in a user repository.
