Securing the WebSphere Process Server environment

Security in your WebSphere Process Server environment is controlled from the administrative console. A user with sufficient privileges can turn on or off all application security from the administrative console. It is therefore critical that you secure the environment before deploying secured applications.

Before you begin

You should install WebSphere Process Server and verify the installation before commencing these tasks.

Why and when to perform this task

Your WebSphere Process Server environment is defined within a profile. Open the administrative console for the profile that you want to secure. Log in to the console using any user identity; until the profile is secure, any user name will be accepted.

Steps for this task

  1. Turn on global security.
  2. Assign users to appropriate administrative security roles.

Result

The next time you log in to the administrative console you must provide a valid user name and password.

What to do next

Each profile that you create must be secured in this way.
