Configuring the bus to access secured mediations

Use this task to ensure that the service integration bus is authorized to access secured mediations.

Before you begin

The mediation is secured by using a Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) Connector Architecture authentication alias. For information about creating a Java EE authentication alias, see Managing Java 2 Connector Architecture authentication data entries for JAAS.

About this task

To configure the bus to access a secured mediation, you must add the mediation authentication alias for the secured mediation to the properties for the bus:
  • If the bus has a Version 6 bus member, you must provide the principal and its associated password.
  • If the bus has WebSphere® Application Server Version 7.0 or later bus members only, you need only provide the principal.

Procedure

  1. Log into the navigation pane.
  2. Click Service integration -> Buses -> security_value. The bus security configuration panel is displayed.
  3. In the Mediations authentication alias field, select the principal for the mediation, and its associated password if required.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Save your changes to the master configuration.

Results

The selected bus is configured to access secured mediations.

What to do next

You can assign security roles to your mediation handlers to protect them from use by unauthorized users. For more information, see Deploying secured applications.
