Creating OpenSSO Enterprise Users and Groups

In this task, you create new OpenSSO Enterprise users and groups who will be able to access the Tomcat 6.0 version 3.0 Manager, Administration, and Host Manager web applications.

In Access Manager 7.1 and Access Manager 7 2005Q4, users were assigned specific roles. OpenSSO Enterprise uses groups rather than roles for the same functionality.

To Create OpenSSO Enterprise Users and Groups

1. Log in to the OpenSSO Enterprise Administration Console.

2. Click Access Control, realm-name, Subjects, and then User.

3. Create the following new users, as required by your deployment:

   • Manager user: A user who will be assigned to the manager group and will be able to log into the Manager web application.

   • Administrator user: A user who will be assigned to the admin group and will be able to log into the Administration and Host Manager web applications.

4. Click Access Control, realm-name, Subjects, and then Group.

5. Create the following new groups:

   • Manager group named manager

   • Administrator group named admin

6. Assign the new users created in Step 3 to their respective groups:

   • Assign the Manager user to the Manager group (manager).

   • Assign the Administrator user to the Administrator group (admin).

7. Save all changes to the new users and groups.
