Getting started with security

Security is an integral consideration when you are planning to install WebSphere® ESB, when you are developing and deploying applications, and in the day-to-day running of your process server.

About this task

To maintain the security of your sensitive data, you must secure both the process server environment and the applications that you deploy to that environment.
Procedure
  1. Consider security when you install WebSphere ESB. See Installing WebSphere ESB: security considerations
  2. Ensure that security is turned on for your standalone, or deployment environment installation.
    1. Ensure that Administrative security is turned on. Administrative security is turned on by default.
    2. Ensure that Application security is turned on. Application security is turned on by default.
    3. If required, turn on Java 2 security.
    4. Use the Security Configuration wizard in the administrative console to configure security options.
    5. Set up a secure authentication mechanism and user account repository.
    6. Assign user names and passwords to important business integration authentication aliases.
    7. Assign users to appropriate administrative security roles.
  3. Set up security for specific WebSphere ESB component. For example, use the Security Manager to set up role-based access control for timetables in the Business Calendar Manager.
  4. Secure the applications that you deploy to your process server environment.
    1. Develop your applications in WebSphere Integration Developer using all appropriate security features.
    2. Deploy your applications to your WebSphere ESB environment.
    3. Assign users or groups to appropriate security roles to control access to the newly deployed application.
