Service integration bus security uses role-based authorization.
By adding users and groups to the bus connector role for a secured
bus, you can control which users and group members have access to
the bus and its resources.
Before you begin
- Ensure that security is enabled for the bus. For more information,
refer to Securing buses.
- The users and groups that you want to add to the bus connector
role must exist already in the user repository.
About this task
Adding users and groups to the bus connector role enables
them to connect to the bus to carry out messaging operations. You
can add a user directly to the bus connector role, or indirectly by
adding a group to which the user belongs. You can also add special
groups of users. There are three special groups:
- Server
- The server identity is a WebSphere® Application Server . You
cannot specify the Server group for a JMS message-driven bean (MDB).
- All Authenticated
- This group comprises all user identities that authenticate successfully
to the bus.
- Everyone
- The user identities in this group are anonymous, and connect to
the bus without security authentication.
In this task you use an administrative console wizard
to add groups and users to the bus connector role for a selected local
bus.
Procedure
- Log into the administrative console.
- Click . A list of the users and groups already in the bus connector
role for the selected bus is displayed. By default, the list is empty
for a new bus.
- Click New to start the Security
Resource Wizard.
- Choose whether you want to add groups or users:
- If you want to add a special group, select The
built-in special groups option.
- If you want to add other groups or users in the user repository,
select the appropriate option, and complete the following mandatory
fields:
- Search pattern
- Specify a string to match against user IDs or group names in the
user repository. Only user IDs or group names that match the search
pattern are retrieved, subject to the maximum number of search results.
You can specify wildcard characters.
- Maximum number of search results to display
- Specify the maximum number of user IDs or group names to display.
- Click Next to display a list of
groups or users.
- Select the names of the groups or users you want to add
to the bus connector role, and click Next.
- Click Finish to confirm you choices.
- Save your changes to the master configuration.
Results
The selected users and groups are added to the bus connector
role for the selected bus.
