Recovering management software access after an external user registry failure
If you are using an external user registry, and that registry fails, use the following procedure to recover access to the IBM® Flex System Manager management software by using the local user registry on the management node.
About this task
If you cannot log in to the management software because your external user registry is not available, you can log in with the default administrator account and use the management software web interface to change the user registry setting to the local IBM Flex System Manager user registry. After your external user registry is restored, you can change the setting back.
See Management software user registry for more information about user registries.
To log in to the management software and change the user registry setting, complete the following steps:

- Select Use Flex System Manager predefined user registry values and click Next.
- Click Finish. The user accounts in the local management node user registry can now be used to access the management software. After your external user registry is restored and available to the management node, you can change the user registry setting back to the external user registry.
