Edit configuration property settings to disable IBM® Connections directory service
extensions.
Before you begin
Be sure that you have configured the LDAP directory properly
before you configure it to be the user directory. See Setting
up federated repositories for more details.
About this task
IBM Connections
directory service extensions are protocols that propagate Profiles
data between the applications. When the directory service extension
is enabled, you can use the Profiles database to store user information
instead of having to access the LDAP directory for each request. If
you install the Profiles application, the Profiles database is set
up to be the user directory for IBM Connections
by default. If you decide that you want to use the LDAP directory
as the user directory instead, you can disable the Profiles directory
service extension.
When you disable the Profiles directory service
extension, LDAP services handle authentication, group membership search,
and all user profiles queries except browser based searches requested
within the Profiles application.
Procedure
- Start the wsadmin client from the
following directory of the system where you installed the deployment
manager:
app_server_root\profiles\dm_profile_root\bin
Note: You
must start the client from this directory or subsequent commands that
you try to run will not execute properly. For more information, see
the Starting the wsadmin client topic.
- Use the wsadmin client to access and check out the IBM Connections configuration files.
-
Enter the following command to load the IBM Connections
configuration file: execfile("connectionsConfig.py")
If you are prompted to
specify a service to connect to, type 1 to
select the first node in the list. Most commands can run on any node.
If the command writes or reads information to or from a file by using
a local file path, you must select the node where the file is stored.
This information is not used by the wsadmin client when you are making
configuration changes.
- Enter the following command
to check out IBM Connections
configuration files:
LCConfigService.checkOutConfig("working_directory","cell_name")
- Use the following command to disable the Profiles directory
service extension:
LCConfigService.updateConfig("profiles.directory.service.extension.enabled","false")
- After making changes, you must check the configuration
files back in and you must do so during the same wsadmin session in
which you checked them out for the changes to take effect. See Applying
common configuration property changes for information about
how to save and apply your changes.
