Setting up security for a Network Deployment environment

A completely secure network deployment environment depends on the security for a WebSphere ESB network deployment profile and other security settings for WebSphere ESB components and other related products.

Why and when to perform this task

Use this task to set up the core security of a WebSphere ESB network deployment profile. You can then extend that security by using tasks described in the related topics.

To set up the core security for a WebSphere ESB deployment manager profile, use the administrative console for the deployment manager to complete the following steps.

Steps for this task

  1. Enable global security.
    1. In the navigation pane, click Security > Global security.
    2. In the content pane, 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 supported by WebSphere ESB. For more details about configuring LTPA as the authentication mechanism see Configuring single signon.

  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) For information about configuring a LDAP user registry, see Configuring Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) as the user registry.
  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 to the master configuration.
  8. Restart the deployment manager, the nodes, and servers on managed nodes.
