How to Configure an External Administrator Store

Complete the following steps to configure a connection to an external administrator store:

1. Review the external administrator store considerations.
2. Review the SSL considerations.
3. Depending on your store type, do the following:
   • (LDAP) Gather directory server connection information.
   • (RDB) Gather database connection information.
   • (RDB) Deploy a Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) data source to the application server.
     • If you installed the Administrative UI using the stand-alone option, use the smjdbcsetup utility to configure and deploy the data source.
     • If you installed the Administrative UI to an existing application server infrastructure, see your vendor-specific documentation for information about configuring and deploying a data source.
4. Configure the connection to the external administrator store.
5. (Optional) Migrate Legacy Administrator Administrative UI permissions.
