IBM App Connect Enterprise, Version 11.0.0.2 Operating Systems: Windows, Linux


Security overview

When you are designing an IBM® App Connect Enterprise application it is important to consider the security measures that are needed to protect the information in the system.

An important aspect of securing an enterprise system is the ability to protect the information that is passed from third parties. This capability includes restricting access to WebSphere® MQ and JMS queues. For information about the steps involved, refer to the documentation supplied by your transport provider. If you are using HTTPS, you need to set specific properties in the HTTP nodes. For information about this option, see HTTPInput node, HTTPRequest node, and HTTPReply node.

In addition to securing the transport, you can secure individual messages based on their identity. For more information about securing messages in a message flow, see Message flow security.

Some security configuration is required to enable IBM App Connect Enterprise to work correctly and to protect the information in the system. For example, you can secure the messaging transport with SSL connections, restrict access to queues, apply WS-Security to web services, and secure access to message flows.

The following topics introduce the concepts that you need to understand before you set up security for IBM App Connect Enterprise:
