Before you begin

Before you begin this task, be sure you have implemented the UserRegistry interface. For more information on developing and using custom user registries, see the following articles in the information center:

Hints and tips

Special considerations with custom user registries

Make sure that your implementation of the custom user registry does not depend upon any WebSphere Application Server components such as data sources, enterprise beans, and so on. Do not have this dependency because security is initialized and enabled prior to most of the other WebSphere Application Server components during startup. If your previous implementation used these components, make a change that eliminates the dependency.
