Tivoli Performance Viewer with security enabled

You can use Tivoli Performance Viewer also for WASs that are configured for global security. However, some extra configuration is needed in this case. The configuration depends on the connector protocol you are using (SOAP or RMI).

 

For the SOAP connector

In order to run a Tivoli Performance Viewer client application with security enabled, have %CLIENTSOAP% and %CLIENTSAS% properties on your Java Virtual Machine command line. The %CLIENTSOAP% and %CLIENTSAS% properties are defined in the setupCmdLine.bat or setupCmdline.sh files. Do the following:

1. Set com.ibm.SOAP.securityEnabled to True in the soap.client.props file for the SOAP connector.

The soap.client.props property file is located in the <WAS_ROOT>/properties directory.

2. Set com.ibm.SOAP.loginUserid and com.ibm.SOAP.loginPassword as the user ID and password for login.

Tip: A common mistake is to leave extra spaces at the end of the lines in the property file. Do not leave extra spaces at the end of the lines, especially for the user ID and password lines.

 

For the RMI connector

If you are using the Remote Method Invocation (RMI) connector to access the remote server, then you get a user ID/password challenge window, as shown in Figure 16-11, before the main window. At this point, enter a valid user ID and password and click OK to log on.

Instead of entering the user_ID/password in the pop-up window every time, you can set these values in the sas.client.props file.
