Manually configuring Tivoli Access Manager only for authentication on Websphere Application Server 6.x

You can configure Tivoli Access Manager Version 5.1 solely for authentication.

Procedure

  1. Disable Java Authorization Contract for Containers (JACC) in the Application Server administrative console. The following steps explain how to disable JACC:
    1. Start the WebSphere Application Server.
    2. Use the administrator user ID to log into the administrative console.
    3. Navigate to Security > Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure > External authorization providers and click Default authorization.
    4. Click OK.
    5. Click Save.
    6. Quit the WebSphere Application Server.
  2. Navigate to $WAS_HOME/profiles/<profileName>/config/cells/<cellName>/.
  3. If you want to restore Tivoli Access Manager for Authentication at a later stage, make a backup copy of the security.xml file.
  4. Edit the security.xml file and remove the Tivoli Access Manager authorization table entry similar to the example that follows. It is usually located at the end of the file. <properties xmi:id="Property_1160607508013" name="com.ibm.websphere.security.authorizationTable" value="com.tivoli.pdwas.websphere.PDWASAuthzManager"/>
  5. Start WebSphere Application Server. Only Tivoli Access Manager for Authentication is enabled.
