Prepare for security at installation time
- Secure the environment before installation.
- Prepare the operating system for installation of WAS.
- Migrate security configurations from previous releases during installation, when you are prompted to do so. This step describes how to migrate security configurations from a previous release of WAS to WAS v8.0.
- We can create a profile either during or after install time.
If you create a profile during install...
- Administrative security is enabled by default
- A panel is displayed during creation in which you can supply an administrative user ID and password which will be created in the default federated repository.
- The advanced profile creation panel allows you to change defaults for:
root certificate Used to sign the personal certificate personal certificate Used to sign/encrypt data over the network Ensure that the root certificate has a long lifetime and the personal certificate a shorter one. Import the personal certificate and or root certificate. If the personal certificate is signed by the certificate authority, change the root certificate.
