Enable embedded Tivoli Access Manager
Overview
Enabling Tivoli Access Manager security within WebSphere Application Server requires:
- A supported LDAP installed somewhere on your network. This user registry contains the user and group information for both TAM and WAS.
- TAM server exists and is configured to use the user registry.
WebSphere Application Server contains an embedded client for TAM. To use TAM, also configure the TAM server.
The server version must be the same version or later as the client version.
TAM server is bundled with WebSphere Application Server.
- WAS is installed either in a single server model or as WAS ND.
- When administrative security is configured with a FIPS provider, the TAM server must be configured for FIPS as well
Complete the following steps to enable embedded TAM security:
- Create the security administrative user.
- Configure the JACC provider for TAM.
- Configure LDAP as the user registry.
- Enable the JACC provider for TAM.
