Configuring WebSphere Portal Express to use a user registry on Linux

Configure user registry security on IBM^® WebSphere^® Portal Express to protect your server from unauthorized users. You can configure a stand-alone LDAP user registry or you can add LDAP user registries and/or database user registries to the default federated repository. After configuring your user registry, you can add realms for Virtual Portals or a lookaside database to store attributes that cannot be stored in the LDAP user registry.

Prerequisites: Installing WebSphere Portal Express on Linux; Configure WebSphere Portal to use a remote database

Perform the following tasks to configure WebSphere Portal Express to use a user registry:

Choosing your user registry model on Linux
Choose between securing IBM WebSphere Portal Express with a stand-alone LDAP user registry or by adding LDAP user registries and/or database user registries to the default federated repository.
Adding realm support on Linux
A realm is a group of users from one or more user registries that form a coherent group within IBM WebSphere Portal Express. Realms allow flexible user management with various configuration options. A realm must be mapped to a Virtual Portal to allow the defined users to log in to the Virtual Portal.
