Use this task to turn messaging
security on or off.
Before you begin
Messaging security requires that
administrative security is enabled as described in
the topic
Enabling security. If the
application server is not security enabled, then messaging engine security
will not be enabled.
About this task
If the cell already has administrative security
enabled and you want to enable or disable messaging security the following
steps should be followed:
Procedure
- Stop every server in the cell for which the SIB service
has been enabled. These are typically servers that host a messaging engine .
- In
the navigation pane, click Service Integration > Buses
- In the content pane, next to the bus for which you wish
to configure security, click the Enabled or Disabled link
in the security column.
- Under General Properties select or clear the Bus
Security check box as appropriate.
- Click OK.
- Save your changes to the master configuration.
- Propagate your changes to all the nodes.
- Restart all the servers that were stopped in
Step 1.
Results
The Bus Security flag enforces
the authorization policy for the bus. The authorization policy may allow unauthenticated
clients to attach to the bus. This setting requires that administrative security
be enabled. If WebSphere Application Server security is disabled the bus is
insecure and the Bus Security flag cannot be selected.
What to do next
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.
