WebSphere® ESB security is based on the WebSphere Application Server version 6.1 security.
Refer to the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Information Center for detailed information about security.
Security tasks can be broadly divided into those concerning the administration of security in the WebSphere ESB environment and those that are related to the applications running in WebSphere ESB. The security of the server environment is central to the security of applications, and therefore the two sides should not be thought of in isolation.
Securing the environment involves enabling administrative security, enabling application security, creating profiles with security, and restricting access to critical functions to selected users.
The remainder of this section details the security considerations at various stages of operation of the WebSphere Process Server.
