Controlling Access to Administration Tools

Only users in the asadmin group are able to access Admin Console and asadmin command line utility. To give a user access to these administration tools, add them to the asadmin group, as follows:

  1. Expand the Configurations node in the Admin Console tree.
  2. Expand the server-config node.
  3. Expand the Security node.
  4. Expand the Realms node.
  5. Select the file node.
  6. Click the Manage Users button from the Edit Realm page.
  7. Initially after installation, the administrator user name and password entered during installation will be listed in a file named admin-keyfile. By default, this user belongs to the group asadmin, which gives rights to modify the Application Server. Assign users to this group only if you want to grant them administrator privileges for the Application Server.

    If you add users to the file realm and assign the user to a group other than asadmin, the user information will be written to a file named keyfile.

  8. Click New to add a new user to the file realm.
  9. Enter the correct information into the User Id, Password, and Group List fields. To authorize a user to make modifications to the Application Server, include the asadmin group in the Group List.
  10. Click OK to add this user to the file realm or click Cancel to quit without saving.
