Modifying the user mapped to the RunAs role

You can modify the user mapped to the RunAs security role.

About this task

If security is enabled, then the Diameter Enabler Web service enterprise applications will have one or more users or groups assigned to the security role, "Diameter_Role." One of these users, or members of these groups, will be mapped to the RunAs role. These settings are normally configured during the installation of the enterprise applications. However, if a different user must be mapped to the RunAs role or if the existing user's password changes, then the enterprise applications settings must be updated to match.

If the user ID password is changed in the user registry but not in the enterprise application settings, then you may see messages in System.out similar to the following:
  • SECJ0055E: Authentication failed for user ID. The user ID or password may have been entered incorrectly or misspelled. The user ID may not exist, the account could have expired or disabled. The password may have expired.
  • SECJ0336E: Authentication failed for user user ID because of the following exception com.ibm.websphere.security.PasswordCheckFailedException: Authentication failed for user: user ID

To modify this user ID or password, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to the Integrated Solutions Console:
    1. Open a browser and navigate to the following URL: https://host_name:port/ibm/console.
      Where:
      • host_name is the fully qualified host name of the server where the application or the network deployment manager is deployed.
      • port is the secured port used to access the console. The default port is 9043.
      Note: The default unsecured port is 9060. If you use 9060, you must have "http" instead of "https" in the URL.
    2. Enter an administrator user ID and password. (Omit the password if security is not enabled.)
    3. Click Log in.
  2. Click Applications > Enterprise Application > application_name > User RunAs roles
  3. Select the Diameter_Role check box.
  4. Enter the current RunAs user ID or a new user ID in the Username field.
  5. Enter the current password for this user ID in the Password field.
  6. Click Apply.
    Note: The user ID/password combination must be valid in the user registry that is configured and must already be assigned to the security role (Diameter_Role); if not, this step will fail.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Click Save to save your configuration changes.
  9. Restart the application server.
