The first step to take to secure your WebSphere Process Server environment
is to supply authentication information when creating server profiles.
Before you begin
It is assumed that you have successfully installed WebSphere Process Server before
commencing this task.
Why and when to perform this task
A detailed description of creating profiles is provided in
Installing WebSphere Process Server .
Steps for this task
- During profile creation each time you are offered the chance to
enter a user name and password, do so. These user names must be
in the user registry that you intend to use for authenticating users. By default
this would be the local operating system user registry but you can use the
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) if you prefer. The users associated
with these components will have some administrative privileges to these components
and therefore the user name provided should be someone in authority.
- Finish the creation of the profile.
Complete the
remaining steps on the profile creation wizard.
- Start the server.
Start the server either from the
command line or from the First Steps console.
- Enable global security.
See Enabling global security for more
information about enabling global security.
- Stop and restart the server.
The server restarts
with global security enabled.
