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
