Setting up security for a Network Deployment environment

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

  1. Enable global security.

    On the administrative console, expand Security, click Global security, select the Enable global security check box.

  2. Enforce Java 2 security.

    Ensure that the Enforce Java 2 security check box is selected.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Provide necessary parameters for the user registry.
    User registry Action
    Operating System Under User registries, choose Local OS. On the Local OS user registry page provide a user name and password.
    Note: This user name is used as the identity of the server. The user is automatically added to the Administrator role.
    Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) See Configuring Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) as the user registry for details.
  6. Ensure that the security information is propagated to the nodes of the cell.

    Select the Synchronize with Nodes check box.

  7. Save your changes

    Click OK.

  8. Restart the deployment manager, the nodes and the servers.
