Mapping an anonymous user ID to the anonymous security role

Map the anonymous user ID to the anonymous security role AnonymousUsers to allow the SIP Proxy/Registrar to distinguish between authenticated users and anonymous users. All anonymous registrations map to the same anonymous user ID.

Before you begin

The anonymous user ID must exist in the WebSphere® Application Server file-based repository or LDAP repository. Choose a user ID that is not used for Sametime® client authentication.

If you do not already have a WebSphere Application Server anonymous user, follow these steps to create one in the WebSphere Application Server file-based repository:

  1. Log in to the Integrated Solutions Console for the SIP Proxy and Registrar.
  2. Click Users and Groups > Manage Users.
  3. Click Create.
  4. Provide values for all required fields.
  5. Click Create.
  6. When the user has been created, click Close.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Integrated Solutions Console for the SIP Proxy/Registrar server.
  2. Click Applications > WebSphere enterprise applications.
  3. Click IBM Lotus SIP Registrar.
  4. In the "Detail Properties" section, click Security role to user/group mapping.
  5. Select the AnonymousUsers security role and click Map Users.

  6. In the Search string field, type the same anonymous user ID that you identified in the "Before you begin" section (for example, anonymous@example.com). Then click Search.
  7. Select the user from the list and click -> to move the user to the Selected list.
  8. Click Apply and then Save.
  9. Restart the SIP Proxy/Registrar for the change to take effect.
