The role-based policy framework parameters
are located in the Java Authorization Contract for Containers (JACC) configuration
file and in the authorization configuration file. These parameters are set
at the time of JACC provider configuration and authorization server configuration.
The role-based policy framework settings for the authorization table and the
JACC provider can be modified separately for each WebSphere Application Server
instance. The amwas.node_server.authztable.properties configuration
file is generated from the authorization table. The configuration file is
generated from the JACC provider, amwas.node_name_server_name.amjacc.properties.
Both files are stored on the WebSphere Application Server profile_root/etc/tam directory. It is unlikely that you need to change these properties, but
these properties are described here for reference:
Supported properties include:
- com.tivoli.pd.as.rbpf.AMAction=i
- This property is used to signify that a user is granted access to a role.
This value is added to a Tivoli Access Manager access control list (ACL) and
places invoke access on roles for users and groups.
- com.tivoli.pd.as.rbpf.AMActionGroup=WebAppServer
- This property sets the Tivoli Access Manager action group that serves
as a container for the action that is specified by the com.tivoli.pd.as.rbpf.AMAction
property. The permission set in the com.tivoli.pd.as.rbpf.AMAction property
goes into this action group.
- com.tivoli.pd.as.rbpf.PosRoot=WebAppServer
- This property is used to determine where roles are stored in the protected
object space.
- com.tivoli.pd.as.rbpf.ProductId=deployedResources
- This property specifies the location under the root location that is specified
in the posroot property to separate other products in the protected object
space. Embedded Tivoli Access Manager objects are found in the /WebAppServer/deployedResources directory.
The default value is deployedResources.
- com.tivoli.pd.as.rbpf.ResourceContainerName=Resources
- This property specifies the Tivoli Access Manager object space container
name for the protected resources. The default location is the /WebAppServer/deployedResources/Resources directory.
- com.tivoli.pd.as.rbpf.RoleContainerName=Roles
- This property specifies the Tivoli Access Manager protected object space
container name for the security roles. The default location is the /WebAppServer/deployedResources/Roles directory.
The previous settings cannot be changed after configuration.
Make changes in the template properties file before any configuration actions
are performed. Properties that are changed after configuration will cause
access decisions to fail.
