Setting up WebSphere Process Server security

The first step to take to secure your WebSphere Process Server environment is to supply authentication information when creating server profiles.

Before you begin

It is assumed that you have successfully installed WebSphere Process Server before commencing this task.

Why and when to perform this task

A detailed description of creating profiles is provided in Installing .

Steps for this task

  1. During profile creation each time you are offered the chance to enter a user name and password, do so. These user names must be in the user registry that you intend to use for authenticating users. By default this would be the local operating system user registry but you can use the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) if you prefer. The users associated with these components will have some administrative privileges to these components and therefore the user name provided should be someone in authority.
  2. Finish the creation of the profile.

    Complete the remaining steps on the profile creation wizard.

  3. Start the server.

    Start the server either from the command line or from the First Steps console.

  4. Enable global security.

    See Enabling global security for more information about enabling global security.

  5. Stop and restart the server.

    The server restarts with global security enabled.
