You must configure the system to use application server
security. However, if application server security was configured through
the installer, you do not have to complete this procedure.
Before you begin
You must create the following items:
- A user directory on a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
server
- An organizational unit for the system
- A group, maximousers, under the organizational unit
- MAXADMIN, MAXREG, and MXINTADMIN administrative users in the directory
that are assigned to an organizational unit and to the maximousers
group
Procedure
- In the System Properties application, set the value of
the mxe.useAppServerSecurity property to 1.
- For each web.xml file that sets the useAppServerSecurity
value, modify the XML code:
- Uncomment one of the <login-config> sections for
FORM or BASIC login.
- Set the value of <useAppServerSecurity> to 1.
- Uncomment the <security-constraint> section.
- To build the EAR file, change the directory to your install_home\deployment folder, and
specify buildmaximoear.
- Deploy the EAR file in the appropriate application server.
- Synchronize the users and groups from LDAP into the system
using the cron task.
What to do next
To configure to use application server security, you must
configure your application server for LDAP security.
