Authentication information provided at installation time

During installation, you are prompted for security information so that the WebSphere® ESB environment is immediately secured.

In previous releases of WebSphere ESB, you were prompted for various authentication information during installation. Now all the components default to the primary administrative credentials that you provide. These default values provide basic security, but in order to harden the security of your installation, you should use the administrative console to configure the various components of WebSphere ESB to have appropriate security identities.

When you create a WebSphere ESB profile, if you keep Enable administrative security selected you are prompted for a user name. This identity is used as a default for all underlying components. Again, you should configure these identities after profile creation in order to further harden your security.

Several components of WebSphere ESB utilize authentication aliases. These aliases are used to authenticate the runtime component for access to databases and messaging engines. These aliases can be modified on the Business Integration Security panel of the administrative console.
