Configure the bus to access secured mediations
Use this task to ensure that the service integration bus is authorized to access secured mediations.
The mediation is secured using a Java EE Connector Architecture authentication alias. For information about creating a Java EE authentication alias, see Manage Java 2 Connector Architecture authentication data entries for JAAS.
To configure the bus to access a secured mediation, we must add the mediation authentication alias for the secured mediation to the properties for the bus:
- If the bus has a v6 bus member, provide the principal and its associated password.
- If the bus has WebSphere Application Server v7.0 or later bus members only, we need only provide the principal.
Tasks
- Log into the navigation pane.
- Click Service integration -> Buses -> security_value. The bus security configuration panel is displayed.
- In the Mediations authentication alias field, select the principal for the mediation, and its associated password if required.
- Click OK.
- Save changes to the master configuration.
The selected bus is configured to access secured mediations.
What to do next
We can assign security roles to your mediation handlers to protect them from use by unauthorized users. For more information, see Deploy secured applications.
