Configuring UDDI Security with WebSphere Application Server security disabled

You can configure the UDDI registry to use the UDDI Version 3 security API or the UDDI Version 1 and Version 2 publish security features. When WebSphere® Application Server security is disabled, WebSphere Application Server security roles and data confidentiality constraints do not apply.

Before you begin

WebSphere Application Server security must be disabled.

About this task

You can configure the UDDI registry to use the UDDI security features with WebSphere Application Server security disabled for test purposes. It is not advisable to use this type of configuration for production purposes.

For UDDI Version 1 and Version 2 security, the following features are active and do not require further configuration:
  • UDDI Version 1 and Version 2 publish requests require UDDI Version 1 and Version 2 authentication tokens respectively. Publishers that request or use an authentication token must be registered WebSphere Application Server users.
  • UDDI Version 1 and Version 2 inquiry requests do not require authentication tokens.

For UDDI Version 3, you must configure the UDDI registry to use the UDDI Version 3 Security API, or to use authentication tokens with the Version 3 Publish and Custody Transfer APIs.

To configure the UDDI registry to use the UDDI Version 3 security features, you use the administrative console.

Procedure

  1. Click UDDI > UDDI Nodes > uddi_node_name .
  2. In the General Properties section, select Use authInfo credentials if provided to specify that the authInfo contents in UDDI API requests are used to validate users.
  3. Click OK.

Results

Authentication tokens are required for publish requests and custody transfer requests, but not for inquiry requests. Publishers that request or use an authentication token must be registered WebSphere Application Server users.
