This tutorial demonstrates how to secure WebSphere® eXtreme Scale servers that are partially
deployed in a WebSphere Application Server environment.
In the deployment
for this tutorial, the container servers
are deployed in
WebSphere Application Server.
The catalog server is deployed as stand-alone server, and is started
in a Java Standard Edition (Java SE) environment.
Because the catalog
server is not deployed in WebSphere Application Server,
you cannot use the WebSphere Application Server Authentication
plug-ins. For more information about the process of configuring WebSphere Application Server Authentication plug-ins,
see Tutorial: Integrate WebSphere eXtreme Scale security with WebSphere Application Server. In this tutorial, a different
authenticator is required for catalog server authentication. You configure
a keystore authenticator to authenticate the clients.
Learning objectives
The learning
objectives for this tutorial follow:
- Configure WebSphere eXtreme Scale to
use the KeyStoreLoginAuthenticator plug-in
- Configure WebSphere eXtreme Scale transport
security to use WebSphere Application Server CSIv2
configuration and the WebSphere eXtreme Scale properties
file
- Use Java™ Authentication
and Authorization Service (JAAS) authorization in WebSphere Application Server
- Use the xscmd utility
to monitor the data grids
and maps that you created in the tutorial.
Time required
This tutorial takes approximately
4 hours from start to finish.
