AppScan Enterprise Server authentication: Migration considerations for replacement of the IBM Rational Jazz user authentication component with IBM WebSphere Liberty
This topic describes user management-related migration considerations that you may need to consider if you are upgrading from a previous version of AppScan® Enterprise Server.
- Migrating from an Enterprise Server that only has local Jazz™ users: In this upgrade scenario, the former Jazz users will appear in the AppScan Source Database as AppScan Enterprise Server users, however, they will not be valid. These users can be removed from the Database - or they can be converted to AppScan Source users. Contact HCL Support for information on enabling former Jazz users in AppScan Source.
- Migrating from an Enterprise Server that was configured with LDAP: During the Enterprise Server upgrade, you have the option of configuring the Enterprise Server with LDAP again. If you do this, existing users will still work in AppScan Source.
- Migrating from an Enterprise Server that was configured with Windows™ authentication: If your Enterprise Server was configured with Windows authentication, existing users will work in AppScan Source, provided the new Enterprise Server Liberty is configured to use Windows authentication.
Note: When you migrate from an Enterprise Server that
was configured with LDAP or Windows authentication,
the existing users will be reassigned with the default permissions
that are assigned to AppScan Enterprise
Server users.
These default permissions are described in Configuring automatic login of AppScan Enterprise Server users.
