Considerations for an Access Manager WAR File Deployment

If you deploy an Access Manager 7.1 WAR file, consider the following:

• Access Manager mode. Access Manager is deployed as a single web application in Realm Mode.

• Data Stores. The user data store is configured to File System (flat file repository) by default, even if you specify Directory Server to store the Access Manager configuration data. The users under the File System directory are sample users. To configure a different user data store, perform the following steps:

  1. Login to the Access Manager Console.

  2. Click the realm under Realm Name.

  3. Under the realm, click Data Stores.

  4. Remove the Files data store.

  5. Add either Access Manager Repository, if you loaded the Access Manager schema during configuration, or any LDAP v3 data store.

     For information abut configuring an LDAP v3 data store, see Appendix B, Access Manager User LDAP Entries.

     Alternatively, click Authentication under Module Instances and change to LDAP authentication instead of DataStore authentication.

• Monitoring. The Java Enterprise System (Java ES) monitoring framework, which is available through the Java Management Extensions (JMX), is disabled for Access Manager.

• Client Detection. The Client Detection service is disabled for an Access Manager WAR file deployment. If you need this feature, install Access Manager 7.1 using the Java ES installer (package-based installation).
