Introduction: Security in a mixed environment

In this tutorial, you integrate WebSphere® eXtreme Scale security in a mixed environment. The container servers run within WebSphere Application Server, and the catalog service runs in stand-alone mode. Because the catalog server is in stand-alone mode, you must configure an external authenticator.

Important: If both your container servers and catalog server are running within WebSphere Application Server, you can use the WebSphere Application Server Authentication plug-ins or an external authenticator. For more information about using the WebSphere Application Server Authentication plug-ins, see Tutorial: Integrate WebSphere eXtreme Scale security with WebSphere Application Server.
