Preparing for security at installation time

Complete the following tasks to implement security before, during, and after installing WebSphere Application Server.

Procedure

  1. Secure your environment before installation. This step describes how to perform WebSphere Application Server installation with proper authority on different platforms. For more information refer to Securing your environment before installation.
  2. Prepare the operating system for installation of WebSphere Application Server. This step describes how to prepare the different operating systems for installation of WebSphere Application Server. For more information, see Preparing the operating system for product installation.
  3. Migrate security configurations from previous releases during installation, when you are prompted to do so. This step describes how to migrate security configurations from a previous release of WebSphere Application Server to WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1.

    For more information, see Migrating product configurations.

  4. Optional: You can create a profile during install time. If you elect to do so, administrative security is enabled for that profile "out of the box" by default. A panel is displayed during profile creation time and enabling administrative security is selected by default. If you elect to keep this as the default, you must supply an administrative user ID and password. This user ID is created in a federated repository, which is the default user registry when enabling administrative security at profile creation time.
  5. Secure your environment after installation. This step provides information on how to protect password information after you install WebSphere Application Server. For more information, see Securing your environment after installation.
