Set the UDDI registry to use WebSphere Application WAS security


Configure the UDDI registry to determine whether users are allowed access to services, and to determine security of data at the transport level.

The UDDI registry uses two aspects of WebSphere Application WAS security:

Authorization

Authorization determines whether users are allowed access to services. WAS determines authorization by mapping users, or groups of users, to roles. UDDI uses two WAS special subjects: Everyone (all users are allowed access) and AllAuthenticatedUsers (only valid WAS registered users are allowed access).

Data confidentiality

Data confidentiality determines security at the transport level. Data confidentiality for WAS services can be either none, where HTTP is used as the transport protocol, or confidential, where the use of SSL is required and HTTPS is used as the transport protocol.

When WAS security is enabled, the default settings in the UDDI V3 Application and Web deployment descriptors produce the following results:

Use the default settings, as described previously. To change the defaults, you map roles to different users or user groups. If we do this, turn on the Automatically register UDDI publishers property of the UDDI node settings so that you do not have to use two mechanisms to give access to a subset of users. If we have a role not mapped to any users or user groups, all access to that role is disabled.

See about UDDI role mappings, and a list of UDDI registry services and roles, see Access control for UDDI registry interfaces.

To change the default settings, use the following steps:
