Use this task to turn messaging security on or off.
Before you begin
Messaging security requires that
administrative security is enabled as described
in the topic
Enabling security. If the application
server is not security enabled, then messaging engine security will
not be enabled.
About this task
If the cell already has administrative
security enabled and you want to enable or disable messaging security
the following steps should be followed:
Procedure
- Stop every server in
the cell for which the SIB service has been enabled. These are typically
servers that host a messaging engine .
- In the navigation pane, click Service
Integration > Buses
- In the content pane, next to the bus for which
you wish to configure security, click the Enabled or Disabled link
in the security column.
- Under General Properties select or clear the Bus
Security check box as appropriate.
- Click OK.
- Save your changes to the master configuration.
- Propagate your changes to all the
nodes.
- Restart all the servers that were
stopped in Step 1.
Results
The Bus Security flag
enforces the authorization policy for the bus. The authorization policy
may allow unauthenticated clients to attach to the bus. This setting
requires that administrative security be enabled. If WebSphere® Application Server security is
disabled the bus is insecure and the Bus Security flag
cannot be selected.
What to do next
Note: When messaging security is switched on,
all users who connect to a bus must have the required authorization
permissions to use the bus resources. For information on how to add
users to the roles that contain these permissions, see
Administering authorization permissions. If you
are using mediated destinations, you must configure mediations to
run securely as described in
Securing mediations.
