Procedure

  1. Create an authorization realm. Authorization realms are used by authentication realms to associate users with groups and to determine user access. IBM UrbanCode Deploy includes an internal database for storing security information as well as integration with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). LDAP is a widely-used protocol for accessing distributed directory information over IP networks.
  2. Create an authentication realm. The authentication realm is used to determine a user's identity within an authorization realm.
  3. Create roles and define permissions for them. For most uses, the default security types should be adequate.
  4. Create and import users and groups.
  5. Create teams and assign users and groups to them.
