Setting up security in a Network Deployment environment requires
steps in addition to those required for a standalone version of WebSphere Process Server.
Why and when to perform this task
You must be running the administrative console on the machine which
is acting as the deployment manager.
Steps for this task
- Enable global security.
On the administrative console,
expand Security, click Global security,
select the Enable global security check box.
- Enforce Java 2 security.
Ensure that the Enforce
Java 2 security check box is selected.
- Set the Lightweight Third Party Authentication (LTPA) as the authentication
mechanism.
Choose Lightweight Third Party Authentication
(LTPA) from the Active authentication mechanism list.
LTPA is the only authentication mechanism which is supported in WebSphere Process Server.
- Enter a password to be used for LTPA key storage.
Expand Authentication
mechanisms and select LTPA. In the Password field,
enter a password and type the same password in the Confirm password field.
This password is used for the LTPA key storage. Confirm your changes by clicking Apply.
