A catalog server contains two different levels of security information: The security properties that are common to all the WebSphere® eXtreme Scale servers, including the catalog service and container servers, and the security properties that are specific to the catalog server.
To configure the security XML descriptor file, create a -Dobjectgrid.cluster.security.xml.url property in the Java™ virtual machine (JVM) argument. The file name specified for this property is in an URL format, such as file:///samples_home/security/securityWAS2.xml.
<securityConfig xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://ibm.com/ws/objectgrid/config/security ../objectGridSecurity.xsd"
xmlns="http://ibm.com/ws/objectgrid/config/security">
<security securityEnabled="true">
<authenticator
className="com.ibm.websphere.objectgrid.security.plugins.builtins.WSTokenAuthenticator">
</authenticator>
</security>
</securityConfig>
The following properties are defined
in the securityWAS2.xml file: Set the server properties file on the deployment manager server. If you are using a different topology than the topology for this tutorial, set the server properties file on all of the application servers that you are using to host container servers.
You configured catalog server security by associating the securityWAS2.xml and catServer2.props files with the deployment manager, which hosts the catalog server process in the WebSphere Application Server configuration.
