Use this topic to enable IBM WebSphere Application Server security. You must enable administrative security for all other security settings to function.
WebSphere Application Server uses cryptography to protect sensitive data and to ensure confidentiality and integrity of communications between WebSphere Application Server and other components in the network. Cryptography is also used by Web services security when certain security constraints are configured for the Web Services application.
WebSphere Application Server uses Java Secure
Sockets Extension (JSSE) and Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) libraries
in the Software Development Kit (SDK) to perform this cryptography.
The SDK provides strong but limited jurisdiction policy files. Unrestricted
policy files provide the ability to perform full strength cryptography
and to improve performance.
The Unrestricted JCE Policy files for SDK 5 Web site displays.
