Hi Michels, i have a question for you. Is possible to configure an wamc account with ldap, for example using active directory? ths
If you have installed the WebSphere Appliance Management Center to be used with a pre-existing instance of Tivoli Integrated Portal the WebSphere Appliance Management Center groups that are automatically added are not managed by LDAP. You must create new groups in the system which will then be managed by LDAP. Once you have created the new groups remember to associate them with the relevant roles. For information about how to add new groups, see Create a Group. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wamcinfo/v4r0m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.wamc.doc%2Fidmgr%2Fidmgrgroupcreate.html
