Available configurations

On installation, all HCL Workload Automation components that use WebSphere Application Server Liberty are configured by default to use a local file-based user repository. For information about supported authentication mechanisms in WebSphere Application Server Liberty see the section about authenticating users in WebSphere Application Server Liberty.

You can implement an LDAP-based user repository by configuring the sample authentication templates provided in XML format.

If you choose to enable an LDAP-based user repository, for your convenience, a set of sample configuration templates are provided in XML format. See Configuring HCL Workload Automation using templates for a list of the templates. You can further customize the templates by adding additional elements to the XML files. For a full list of the elements that you can configure to complement or modify the configuration, see the section about LDAP user registry in WebSphere Application Server Liberty documentation.
