- Every application in the Lotus Connections make use of J2EE security for managing user roles. For example if i open the web.xml file for the HomePage.war i can see that it defines few roles, this is how the Admin role is defined
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>
Secure Catalog Administration
</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>
/admin/*
</url-pattern>
<http-method>
GET
</http-method>
<http-method>
POST
</http-method>
<http-method>
PUT
</http-method>
<http-method>
DELETE
</http-method>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>
admin
</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
If you look into the web.xml you will notice that it defines following roles- person
- everyone
- reader
- metrics-reader
- admin
- Login into WAS admin console to assign admin role to the user
- In the WAS Admin console go to Applications -< WebSphere Enterprise applications and you will see list of applications deployed on the server
Click on the HomePage link to view the details of HomePage enterprise applications like this- CLick on Security roles to users/group mapping link to view the current mappings
In my case all other roles have some assignment but Admin role is not assigned to any one, so i did select the admin role and click on map users (Its better to map admin role to a group) - Search for the user that you want to assign to the admin role, in my case wasbind and save your changes and restart the Lotus Connections server
- After server is restarted login as the admin user and on the home page you should see Administration tab like this
- When you switch to Administration tab you will notice that your allowed to enable disable widgets, publish new widgets on this tab
