In this task you add a new service integration bus that
is secured by default. The security settings for the bus are stored
in a security domain. When you add a new bus, you can assign it to
the default global security domain, the cell-level domain, or specify
a custom domain that contains a set of settings that are unique to
the bus, or shared with another resource.
About this task
This task uses an administrative console security wizard
to add a new bus. If the wizard detects that administrative security
is disabled, it prompts you to configure a user repository, and enable
administrative security.
By default, connecting clients are required
to use SSL protected transports to ensure data confidentiality and
integrity. If you do not want clients to use SSL protected transports,
you can specify that you do not require this option.
The type
of security domain you can specify for the bus depends on the versions
of the bus members you intend to add to the bus:
- You must specify the global domain if you want to add one or more
WebSphere® Application Server Version 6 bus members.
- You can specify the global, cell-level, or custom domain if you
want to add
WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 or later bus members only.
Procedure
-

You must choose bus names that are compatible
with the
WebSphere MQ queue manager
naming restrictions. You cannot change a bus name after the bus is
created, which means that you can only interoperate with
WebSphere MQ in the future if you use
compatible names. See the topic about
WebSphere MQ naming restrictions in the
related links.
