InfoCenter Home > 6.6.18.1.1a: Specifying global settings with the Java administrative console
GeneralUse the General tab to specify whether to enable security. If the check box is not selected, any other security settings you specify will be disregarded. Additional settings are available on this page, including the security cache timeout and default SSL configuration. Application DefaultsSpecify a default security realm and challenge type for applications. The administrator can later override these values in the security settings for an individual application. The challenge type is the way in which users will be challenged for their credentials, for example, using a digital certificate or user ID and password combination. To refuse to service requests that not are transmitted over SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), click the option for using SSL to connect the client and Web server. Authentication MechanismUse the Authentication Mechanism tabbed page to specify how to authenticate the information presented by users trying to access an application or resources. The administrator can have users or groups authenticated against either the local operating system user registry (such as Windows NT User Manager program) or an LTPA-enabled LDAP or custom directory service product. User RegistryUse the User Registry page to specify details about the authentication mechanism you chose. The contents of this page vary according to the authentication mechanism. If you chose the directory service option, consult the properties help for filling in the filters and other values. |
