WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus for z/OS, Version 6.2.0 Operating Systems: z/OS


Securing applications in WebSphere ESB

The applications that you deploy to your WebSphere® ESB instance require security to be built into them and to be applied at runtime.

About this task

The applications that you host in your WebSphere ESB environment perform many business critical functions that require security. Some applications will access, transfer, or alter sensitive information (for example, payroll information or credit card details). Others will perform billing or inventory management. The security of these applications is vitally important.

Secure your applications by doing the following:

Procedure
  1. Ensure that administrative security is enabled.
  2. Ensure that application security is enabled.
    1. On the administrative console, expand Security and click Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure.
    2. Select Enable application security so that WebSphere ESB will require authentication from users who try to access a secured application.
  3. Develop your applications in WebSphere Integration Developer using all appropriate security features.
  4. Deploy your applications to your WebSphere ESB environment, assigning users or groups to appropriate security roles.
  5. Maintain the security of your WebSphere ESB environment.
