Configuring WebSphere ESB security
for a standalone server
Configuring the security of a standalone
installation of WebSphere® ESB includes
such tasks as enabling administrative security and configuring a user
account registry.
Subtopics
Securing a stand-alone WebSphere ESB installation
Security in your WebSphere ESB environment
is controlled from the administrative console. A user with sufficient
privileges can turn on or off all application security from the administrative
console. It is therefore critical that you secure the environment
before deploying secured applications.
Enabling security In WebSphere Application Server version 6.2, administrative security is enabled by
default. If you have disabled administrative security, use the following
instructions to enable it again.
Configuring a user account repository
The user names and passwords of registered users are stored
in a user account repository. You can use either the user account
repository of the local operating system (this is the default), the
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), federated repositories,
or a custom account repository.
Starting and stopping the server
When administrative security is enabled, to shut down the
server you must provide the appropriate user name and password. The
server will start without authentication, but that authentication
is required to access the administrative console.
Administrative security roles
Several administrative security roles are provided as part
of the WebSphere Process
Server installation.
Default security of installed components
Several important components of WebSphere Process
Server have
default security information. This information includes aliases to
which default users are mapped and security roles to which users must
be granted access in order to invoke these components.
