This section describes how to configure and administer security features with the administrative console, including: Global security, Authentication mechanisms (directories and user registries), Authorization policies and providers, including Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS), Trust association interceptors, Single signon, Common Secure Interoperability Version 2 (CSIv2), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Java 2 Security manager and Security attribute propagation
One important step that must be taken in configuring global security is to select the Lightweight Third Party Authentication (LTPA) as the active authentication mechanism. The Simple WebSphere Authentication Mechanism (SWAM) (which is the default active authentication mechanism in the administrative console) does not correctly propagate security credentials. SWAM is deprecated and will be removed from the administrative console in future releases.
When global security is turned on , the administrative console and the wsadmin command require the user to provide authentication data and role based access control is enforced.
