Use the administrative console to configure the security
properties for an existing service integration bus.
About this task
This task uses the Bus Security administrative console panel.
You can start the
Bus security wizard from the
panel, or specify individual security properties directly in the panel.
The bus security properties are effective only when administrative
security for the cell is enabled. If the wizard detects that administrative
security is disabled, it prompts you to enable it.
The security
properties available to a particular bus depend on the versions of
the bus members:
- If the bus has a
WebSphere® Application Server Version 6 bus member, you must specify
the global security domain. You must also specify an inter-engine
authentication alias to prevent unauthenticated messaging engines
from establishing a connection with the bus.
- If the bus contains Version 7.0 or later bus
members only, you can specify any type of security domain. You do
not need to specify an inter-engine or mediation authentication alias.
If you want to run mediations across multiple security
domains, you can specify a single server identity for the bus, rather
than specify a mediation authentication alias for each domain. You
can use a server identity to run mediations on the global domain.
