Enabling and disabling messaging security

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

  1. Stop every server in the cell for which the SIB service has been enabled. These are typically servers that host a messaging engine .
  2. In the navigation pane, click Service Integration > Buses
  3. 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.
  4. Under General Properties select or clear the Bus Security check box as appropriate.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Save your changes to the master configuration.
  7. Propagate your changes to all the nodes.
  8. 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.
