Run your monitoring applications with security enabled

We can opt to run a Performance Monitoring Infrastructure client application with security enabled.

In order to run a Performance Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI) client application with security enabled, we must have %CLIENTSOAP% properties defined on your Java virtual machine command line for a SOAP connector, and %CLIENTSAS% properties defined for a RMI connector. The %CLIENTSOAP% and %CLIENTSAS% properties are defined in the setupCmdLine.bat or setupCmdline.sh files.

Tasks

• If we are configuring security for a SOAP connector:

  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 profile_root/properties directory.

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

• If we are configuring security for a RMI connector, set the sas.client.props file or type the user ID and password in the window, if we do not put them in the property file for RMI connector. 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.
