Web application security components and settings

What to do next

  • Web component security

    A Web module consists of servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP) files, server-side utility classes, static Web content, which includes HTML, images, sound files, cascading style sheets (CSS), and client-side classes or applets. You can use development tools such as Rational® Application Developer to develop a Web module and enforce security at the method level of each Web resource.

  • Securing Web applications using an assembly tool

    You can use three types of Web login authentication mechanisms to configure a Web application: basic authentication, form-based authentication and client certificate-based authentication. Protect Web resources in a Web application by assigning security roles to those resources.

  • Security constraints in Web applications

    Security constraints determine how Web content is to be protected.

  • Security settings

    Use the administrative console to modify the security settings for all applications.

  • Assigning users and groups to roles

    This topic describes how to assign users and groups to roles if you are using WebSphere® Application Server authorization for Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) roles.
