Integrating third-party HTTP reverse proxy servers

These steps are required to use either a WebSEAL trust association interceptor or your own trust association interceptor with a reverse proxy security server.

About this task

WebSphere Application Server enables you to use multiple trust association interceptors. The Application Server uses the first interceptor that can handle the request.

Procedure

  1. Access the administrative console.

    Type http://server_name:port_number/ibm/console in a Web browser.

    Port 9060 is the default port number for accessing the administrative console. During installation, however, you might have specified a different port number. Use the appropriate port number.

  2. Click Security > Secure administration, applications, and infrastructure.
  3. Under Web security, click Trust association.
  4. Select the Enable trust association option.
  5. Under Additional properties, click Interceptors. The default value appears.
  6. Verify that the appropriate trust association interceptors are listed. If you need to use a WebSEAL trust association interceptor, see Configuring single sign-on using the trust association interceptor or Configuring single sign-on using trust association interceptor ++. If you are not using WebSEAL and need to use a different interceptor, complete the following steps:
    1. Select both the com.ibm.ws.security.web.WebSealTrustAssociationInterceptor and the com.ibm.ws.security.web.TAMTrustAssociationInterceptorPlus class name and click Delete.
    2. Click New and specify a trust association interceptor.

Results

Enables trust association.

What to do next

  1. If you are enabling security, make sure that you complete the remaining steps for enabling security.
  2. Save, stop and restart all of the product servers (deployment managers, nodes and Application Servers) for the changes to take effect.
