Adding Administrative Users

To add a TIBCO BusinessConnect administrative user:

1. Expand BusinessConnect > User Management > Users > Admin.

2. Click Add.

Select the TIBCO BusinessConnect administrator user to add.

A list will appear showing users who have been added using TIBCO Administrator and granted permissions to access TIBCO BusinessConnect (as explained in Setting TIBCO BusinessConnect Access Rights for a User, page 108).

3. Check the check box next to the user names.

4. Click OK.

Continue editing this administrative user as explained in the section Editing Users, page 114.

The list shows whether the TIBCO Administrator user is a TIBCO BusinessConnect Super User. There are two types of super users:

— The TIBCO Administrator Super User has the full access to the configuration information of TIBCO BusinessConnect, but is not automatically assigned to be a TIBCO BusinessConnect Super User unless it is the user who created the TIBCO BusinessConnect installation.

— The TIBCO BusinessConnect Super User is the only user who can use TIBCO BusinessConnect User Management to add other TIBCO Administrator Users and manage the access rights of those users. There must always be one TIBCO BusinessConnect Super User.

Adding Internal Users

To add a TIBCO BusinessConnect internal user:

1. Expand BusinessConnect > User Management > Users > Internal.

2. Click Add.

3. Set a user name and click OK.

Continue editing this internal user as explained in the section Editing Users, page 114.

Adding External Users

External users are specified in the TIBCO BusinessConnect administrative GUI and associated with a trading partner, not with a specific protocol. The same administrative GUI is used to assign the Gateway Services, which these external users can communicate

TIBCO BusinessConnect supports using the TIBCO Administrator GUI to directly add, delete, and update external users to BCDB and LDAP servers, such as the Microsoft Active Directory LDAP, Sun ONE LDAP, and IBM Tivoli Directory Server LDAP, Open LDAP servers.

When adding external users to LDAP servers, ensure that you configure a valid value for the bc.ldap.rolebasedn.attribute property that is located in TIBCO Administrator GUI under BusinessConnect > System Settings > Activated Protocol Plug-ins and Properties >

BC.

To add external users, perform the following steps:

1. On the User Authentication Configuration page, move the authentication source where you want to add the users, to the top of the Authentication Source list.

This authentication source is the target authentication source of your user management activities.

2. To add an external user, expand BusinessConnect > User Management > Users >

External.

3. Click Add.

4. In the Set Email dialog, enter the following information:

— Email Enter the Email address for the new external user.

— Belongs to Partner From the list, select the name of the partner with which this external user will be associated.

5. Click OK.
