Configuring UDDI Security with WebSphere Application Server security disabled

To configure UDDI security, you can use the UDDI Version 3 security API or the UDDI Version 1 and Version 2 publish security features. Because WebSphere Application Server security is disabled, authentication tokens will be required for publish and custody transfer requests.

About this task

With WebSphere Application Server security disabled, neither WebSphere Application Server security roles nor data confidentiality constraints apply. This mode may be useful for test UDDI registry configurations.

In this mode, UDDI Version 1 and Version 2 security features are active:
  • UDDI Version 1 and Version 2 publish requests require UDDI Version 1 and Version 2 authentication tokens respectively. Publishers requesting or using an authentication token must be registered WebSphere Application Server users.
  • UDDI Version 1 and Version 2 inquiry requests do not require authentication tokens.
No further configuration is required for UDDI Version 1 and Version 2 security.

For UDDI Version 3, the use of the UDDI Version 3 Security API, and the use of authentication tokens with Version 3 Publish and Custody Transfer APIs, is optional. To make use of these UDDI Version 3 security features, use the administrative console to complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Specify that use of authInfo is required. Click UDDI > UDDI Nodes > uddi_node_name.
  2. In the General Properties section, select the Use authInfo credentials if provided check box.
  3. Click OK.

Results

Authentication tokens will now be required for publish and custody transfer requests, but not for inquiry requests. Publishers requesting or using an authentication token must be registered WebSphere Application Server users.
