Create Users and Groups for IBM Information Server[DataStage]

To create users and groups for IBM Information Server:

1.      On the computer where you installed the clients, log in to the Web console, which is on the computer where the domain is installed.

o        Windows: Click Start > IBM Information Server > IBM Information Server Web Console and log in to the console with your suite administrator credentials.

o        Linux or UNIX: Open Microsoft Internet Explorer on a Windows computer and go to the URL of the Web console. Log in to the Web console with your suite administrator credentials. The URL takes the form http://host_server:port. host_server is the name or IP address of the computer where the domain is installed. port is the port number for the Web console. The default port number is 9080.

2.      Click the Administration tab and create users and groups. 

You must assign at least one product role to users before they can log in to the clients.

After you create users and groups, you can complete the following tasks:

• Create credential mappings for suite users with WebSphere DataStage and WebSphere QualityStage privileges.
• Start WebSphere Information Analyzer.
• Start WebSphere Information Services Director.
• Configure the suite.

To configure credential mappings:

1.      On the computer where you installed the clients, log in to the Web console, which is on the computer where the domain is installed.

o        Windows: Click Start > IBM Information Server > IBM Information Server Web Console and log in to the console with your suite administrator credentials.

o        Linux or UNIX: Open Microsoft Internet Explorer on a Windows computer and go to the URL of the Web console. Log in to the Web console with your suite administrator credentials. The URL takes the form http://host_server:port. host_server is the name or IP address of the computer where the domain is installed. port is the port number for the Web console. The default port number is 9080.

2.      On the Administration tab, expand the Domain Management section and click DataStage Credentials.

3.      Select the server where the domain is installed.

4.      Click Open User Credentials.

5.      Click Browse to search for suite users.

6.      Optional: Specify additional search criteria, and click Search to provide a list of users.

7.      From the search results, select the suite users that you want to map to the WebSphere DataStage and WebSphere QualityStage server and click OK.

8.      On the DataStage Credentials tab, select the user or users that you want to map to the metadata server. If you want to map some suite users to one WebSphere DataStage and WebSphere QualityStage user and other suite users to a different WebSphere DataStage and WebSphere QualityStage user, select one subset of users and continue.

9.      In the Map User Credentials window, specify the WebSphere DataStage and WebSphere QualityStage users that you want to map to the metadata server.

10.   In the Assign User Credentials window, specify the user credentials for the WebSphere DataStage and WebSphere QualityStage server. This user must exist on the local operating system where the WebSphere DataStage and WebSphere QualityStage server is installed.

11.   Click Apply.

12.   To map additional suite users to a user on the WebSphere DataStage and WebSphere QualityStage server, repeat steps 5 through 11 as necessary.

After you map the credentials and the suite user or group is added to a WebSphere DataStage or a WebSphere QualityStage User role in the WebSphere DataStage Administrator client, you can log in to the Designer client.
