Creating a module chain in TFIM V6.1

This topic describes how to create a module chain in Tivoli® Federated Identity Manager (TFIM) V6.1.

About this task

To enable IBM® Integration Bus to use TFIM V6.1 for authorization, you need to configure TFIM to process the security request from the message flow. To do this you need to create a module chain in TFIM to handle the request:

Procedure

  1. Create a Custom module chain, and ensure that the chain performs all the actions required (Authenticate, Map, Authorize).
  2. Set the Issuer and AppliesTo properties of the module chain, so that it is invoked for the requests from the message flow. When the integration node makes a request to TFIM, the Port Type and Operation Name parameters have the following values:
    • PortType:<Message flow name>
    • Operation "MessageFlowAccess"
    The RequestType is always set to Validate.
  3. To perform authorization in a module chain, add an instance of the Authorization module in other mode, which allows the module parameter Web Service protected object name to be set for the Tivoli Access Manager (TAM) configuration.

What to do next

When you have created the module chain in TFIM, see Configuring TAM for authorization using TFIM V6.1 for information on how to configure TAM to process authorization requests from TFIM.
