7.2.4.6 Security for cloned resources

The workload management service has its own built-in security, which works with the WebSphere application server security service to protect cloned resources. When you are creating clones of application servers, enable security before you create a model of the application server. This enables security for all of the application server clones created from that model.

Protecting cloned enterprise beans

Enterprise beans that are cloned in the context of cloning an application server are protected under the application server's security. Enterprise bean instances and their clones have separate identities, although workload management treats them as being identical. Therefore, you must protect every cloned enterprise bean by configuring resource security for the enterprise bean and including it in a secured enterprise application.

Protecting cloned servlets

Servlets that are cloned in the context of cloning an application server are not treated as separate resources by WebSphere security.   If the original servlet is protected, its clones are too, with no additional steps required by the administrator. To secure a servlet, add its Web resource configuration (URI) to a secured enterprise application.
