Adding administrators to WebSphere-based Sametime servers

Add yourself or others as administrators of IBM® Sametime® components that are hosted on IBM WebSphere® Application Server.

About this task

Give yourself and users that you designate as administrators the same roles as the WebSphere administrator (the "wasadmin" account) in order to manage Sametime using the Sametime System Console. The wasadmin ID is the WebSphere Application Server User ID and password that you created when you installed the Sametime System Console.

Procedure

  1. From a browser, enter the URL for the Sametime System Console.
  2. Enter the WebSphere Application Server User ID and password that you created when you installed the Sametime System Console.

    The default name is wasadmin.

  3. Click Applications > Application types > WebSphere enterprise applications.
  4. Click Sametime System Console (deployment.ear).
  5. In the "Detail Properties" section, click Security role to user/group mapping.
  6. Note the roles for wasadmin.
    For information on the access level of the roles see the topic Administrative roles in the WebSphere Application Server information center.

    Click Cancel to return to the Integrated Solutions Console.

  7. Click Users and Groups.
  8. Select either Administrative user or Administrative group to assign yourself and other designated administrators to the Administrator and Admin Security Manager roles, and other roles assigned to wasadmin.
    Note: An administrator cannot map users and groups to the administrator roles without having the Admin Security Manager role.
  9. Save your changes.
