Use this page to enable server-level security and specify other server-level security configurations.
Specifies that the settings on this panel override the settings on the Security > Security applications, administration, and infrastructure panel.
Specifies that server security is disabled, by default, when application security is enabled. Administrative (administrative console and wsadmin) and naming security remain enabled while application security is enabled, regardless of the status of this flag.
Default | Disabled |
Specifies that the server enforces Java 2 security permission checking at the server level. When cleared, the Java 2 server-level security manager is not installed and all of the Java 2 security permission checking is disabled at the server level.
If your application policy file is not set up correctly, see Configuring the was.policy file in the information center.
Default | Disabled |
Specifies whether a warning is issued during application installation when an application requires a Java 2 permission that is normally not granted to an application.
The application server provides support for policy file management. A number of policy files are included in the application server. Some of these policy files are static and some of them are dynamic. Dynamic policy is a template of permissions for a particular type of resource. In dynamic policy files, the code bases are evaluated at runtime using the configuration data. You can add or remove permissions, as needed, for each code base.
However, do not add, remove, or modify the existing code bases. The real code base is dynamically created from the configuration and run-time data. The filter.policy file contains a list of permissions that an application does not have, according to the J2EE 1.4 Specification. For more information on permissions, see the documentation on the Java 2 security policy files.
Default | Enabled |
Enable this option to restrict application access to sensitive Java Connector Architecture (JCA) mapping authentication data.
Default | Disabled |
Specifies whether user IDs that are returned by getUserPrincipal() are qualified with the server level security domain within which they reside.
Default | Disabled |
Specifies the time period during which the authenticated credential in the cache is valid. This time period must be less than the time period specified for the Timeout value for forwarded credentials between servers field.
Data type | Integer |
Units | Minutes and seconds |
Default | 10 minutes and 0 seconds |
Range | Greater than 30 seconds. Avoid setting Authentication cache timeout value to 30 seconds or less. |
Specifies the active server level security authentication protocol when server level security is enabled.
You can use an Object Management Group (OMG) protocol called Common Secure Interoperability Version 2 (CSIv2) for more vendor interoperability and additional features. If all of the servers in your entire security domain are Version 5.0 servers, it is best to specify CSI as your protocol.
This field displays if a version 6.0.x server exists in your environment.
Data type | String |
Default | CSI and SAS |
Range | CSI, CSI and SAS |
Specifies that the Remote Method Invocation over Internet InterORB Protocol (RMI/IIOP) settings on this panel override the settings on the Security > Security applications, administration, and infrastructure panel.
Default | Enabled |
