Security features are found throughout IBM TDI (TDI). Some features secure access into remote systems from TDI, others protect access into TDI from remote systems, and yet others provide mechanisms to secure data, such as user credentials into remote systems.
Many of the features described in this chapter are not necessary when running TDI in a stand-alone mode in a secured environment. However, the features come in handy when other systems must communicate with TDI, such as through the remote Web Admin Console (AMC) management tool or the TDI Remote Server API. Furthermore, if multiple people have access to the TDI server it could be necessary to protect access to confidential data, as well as maintain the integrity of the integration rules that TDI executes.
This chapter explains the following features:
This guide does not describe all the security capabilities of the individual TDI components. Some common elements are described in Miscellaneous security aspects, however for individual elements of security configuration in the individual TDI components, consult the IBM TDI V7.1 Reference Guide.
