Security considerations for Rational Programming Patterns

This section describes how security is managed for Rational® Programming Patterns.

Enabling security during the installation process

Security is automatically enabled because Rational Programming Patterns is installed with Installation Manager.

Installation Manager uses a secure storage mechanism from Eclipse to store credentials. For more information, see the Installation Manager documentation.

Enabling secure communication between multiple applications

Rational Programming Patterns is installed on top of other products such as IBM® Developer for System z® and Rational Team Concert™. It benefits from the security mechanisms of these products.

The communication between the client part and the server part of Rational Programming Patterns is secured by Rational Team Concert.

Setting up user roles and access

User roles and access are defined in Rational Team Concert.

For details, refer to the Rational Team Concert documentation.

Security limitations

There is no known security limitation for Rational Programming Patterns.
