Guidelines for setting up security

While there is no single best way to set up security, the following steps are sufficient in most cases.

Procedure

  1. Create an authorization realm. Authorization realms are used by authentication realms to associate users with groups and to determine user access. IBM® UrbanCode Release includes an internal database for storing security information and for integration with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). LDAP is a common protocol for accessing distributed directory information over IP networks. See Authorization realms.
  2. Create an authentication realm. The authentication realm is used to determine a user's identity within an authorization realm. See Authentication realms.
  3. Create roles and define permissions for them. For most uses, the default security types are adequate. See Roles and permissions.
  4. Create and import users and groups.
  5. Create teams and assign users and groups to them. See Security teams.
