Enabling and disabling messaging security

Use this task to turn messaging security on or off.

Before you begin

Messaging security requires that global security is enabled as described in Enabling global security. If the application server is not security enabled, messaging engine security will not be enabled.

Why and when to perform this task

To turn messaging security on or off, use the administrative console to complete the following steps:

Steps for this task

  1. In the navigation pane, click Service Integration > Buses.
  2. In the content pane, click the bus that you want to enable or disable security for.
  3. Under General Properties, select or clear the Secure check box, as appropriate.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Save your changes to the master configuration.

When the Secure check box is selected, messaging security will be enabled when global security is enabled, but will not be enabled if global security is not enabled. When the Secure check box is not selected, messaging security is not enabled, regardless of whether global security is enabled.

Note: When messaging security is switched on, all users who connect to a bus must have the required authorization permissions to use the bus resources. For information on how to add users to the roles that contain these permissions, see Administering authorization permissions. If you are using mediated destinations, you must configure mediations to run securely as described in Securing mediations.
