Customizing a UME Data Source Configuration

Prerequisites

  • You have clearly defined where you want user management data to be read, searched, and written to.

  • You have installed the AS Java with the option to use the database of the AS Java for user management.

Context

The user management engine (UME) provides data source configuration files that define a configuration for standard scenarios. If none of these files cover the scenario that you require, you can modify the existing configuration files according to your requirements.

Before you begin, you should review the concepts and structures behind the data source configuration.

For more information, see:

This section also provides examples of data source configuration scenarios.

For more information, see Examples of Data Source Configuration Files .

Procedure

  1. Download the data source configuration file that most closely meets your requirements.
  2. Adapt the file as required.
  3. Verify the correctness of your data source configuration file using the document type definition (DTD) file, which you can find at the same location as the data source configuration files.
  4. Upload the data source configuration file under a different name.

Results

You can now configure the UME to use the new data source configuration file.
