WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere XML Document Management Server, Version 7.0

Security

The IBM® WebSphere® XML Document Management Server Component (XDMS) has a number of security features.

The following section lists each security component:
IMS Trust Association Interceptor
The Trust Association Interceptor (TAI) is common to all IMS components and enables trust association for both Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and HTTP.
Aggregation Proxy Trust Association Interceptor
IBM has developed a separate trust association interceptor designed specifically to work with Aggregation Proxy.
WebSphere Application Server Security
An administrator user account must be added on your WebSphere Application Servers to secure them.
Digest Authentication
Aggregation Proxy uses digest authentication to authenticate users. (In digest authentication, encryption is used so that a user's credentials can be established without the need to transmit a password in plaintext over the network.) You need to set up a user repository and configure Aggregation Proxy to use it. WebSphere allows for the use of the following user repositories:
  • Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
  • custom user registries
  • file-based
