Depending on your site's security policy, to successfully
implement a design, you might need user IDs and passwords to allow
various tasks to complete, such as creating files and folders, and
for database access. Identifying necessary authorities prevents problems
when the servers attempt to access protected data.
Before you begin
- Complete your design.
- Determine the authentication system to use, for example Lightweight
Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
- Review the security policies for your site to determine what controls
are in place that affect the authorizations required for your WebSphere® Enterprise Service
Bus installation.
- Identify the systems on which you are installing the product.
About this task
The security policies for your site enables global security
which indicates that you require specific authorities to install software,
create databases or tables, or access databases. To successfully install
and operate the product you must do these steps.
Procedure
- Acquire, or supply to your security administrator, user
IDs and passwords that have enough authority to install software on
the systems.
You must run the installation wizards for WebSphere Enterprise Service
Bus using IDs
that have the authority to create files and folders.
- Acquire, or supply to your security administrator, user
IDs, passwords, and roles needed for daily operations of the system. These include:
- Administrative console user IDs and roles to limit capabilities.
You can have user IDs for configuring, administrating, or monitoring
roles.
- User IDs for each system bus to use to authenticate system communications.
- Optional: Acquire, or supply to your database
administrator, user IDs and passwords that WebSphere will use to create databases
or database tables during installation.
Note: Your site
policies might restrict this authority to the database administrator.
In this case, you will provide generated scripts to the administrator
to create the databases or database tables.
- Acquire, or supply to your database administrator, user
IDs and passwords that WebSphere will
use to access the database tables it uses during operation.
Results
You can install and operate your WebSphere servers in a secure environment.
