Security info

The Security Info settings on the Bootstrap Preferences page allow you to redirect logins. The settings allow you to redirect logins to a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) server and to identify a remote Java™ server. See Redirect to SSL via Site Preferences below. .

Redirect to SSL via site preferences

When using Workplace and Application Integration, you can secure the user IDs and passwords that travel over the network by redirecting to an SSL server.

To redirect logins to SSL

  1. Configure the SSL server, either during bootstrap initialization at setup or later from Site Preferences.
    1. For the Security Info preference, leave SSL Host:Port blank.
    2. Make a note of the Object store location and the Preference name listed for Preference Settings.
    3. Click Apply.
  2. Configure the unsecured server, during bootstrap initialization or later from Site Preferences.
    1. Set the Security Info preference to redirect logins to the SSL server. Enter the SSL server name and port in SSL Host:Port, f or example, SSLHome:443.
      • For WebSphere, the default SSL port is 443.
      • For WebLogic, the default SSL port is 7002.
    2. Enter the same Object store location and Preference name values that you noted on the SSL server.
    3. Save your changes.

Repeat Step 2 for each unsecured Application Engine from which you want to redirect logins to the SSL server.

NOTE  After performing this procedure to redirect logins to an SSL server, Site Preferences also runs under SSL to protect the guest account user ID and password. This means that when you run Site Preferences on an unsecured server that redirects logins to an SSL server, you are editing the Bootstrap preferences of the SSL server. This does not affect the preferences set on the General, Object Store, and Shortcut views; those preferences are retrieved from the preferences file saved in the object store.

See "Set up Application Engine SSL Security" in the FileNet P8 Installation and Upgrade Guide for more information.

Identify a Java™ server

The Java™ Server HTTP Port setting identifies the listener port for a remote Java server. For example, when you have an HTTP server such as IBM HTTP/Apache configured as the front end for a WebSphere Application Server, the Apache listener port is typically 80, and the WebSphere server is, by default, on port 9080. In this case, you must set the Java Server HTTP Port setting to 9080.
