The first step in securing your WebSphere Process Server environment
and your applications is to enable global security.
Before you begin
Install WebSphere Process Server and verify the installation before
commencing these tasks.
Why and when to perform this task
Open the administrative console for the profile that you want to
secure. Log in to the console using any user identity; until the profile is
secure, any user name will be accepted.
Steps for this task
- Open the global security panel in the administrative console.
Expand Security and click Global
security.
- Enable global security.
Select the Enable
global security check box.
- Optional: Enforce Java 2 security, if required.
Select the Enforce Java 2 security check box
to enforce Java 2 security.
When you enable Java 2 security, an application
that requires more Java 2 security permissions than are granted in the default
policy might fail to run properly until the required permissions are granted
in either the app.policy file or the was.policy file of the application. AccessControl
exceptions are generated by applications that do not have all the required
permissions. For more information about Java 2 security see the topic on Configuring
Java 2 security policy files in the WebSphere Application Server Information
Center.
- Apply these changes.
Click the Apply button
at the bottom of the panel.
- Save the changes to the local configuration.
Click Save in
the message pane.
- If necessary stop and restart the server.
If the
server needs to be restarted, a message will appear in the administrative
console to this effect.
Example
What to do next
You must turn on global security for each profile that you create.
