Configure outbound messages
Use the administrative console to configure outbound messages for CSIv2.
Tasks
- In the administrative console, click Security > Global security.
- Under Authentication, expand RMI/HOP security.
- Click CSIv2 outbound communication.
- Optional: Click Propagate security attributes or Use identity assertion. The Propagate security attributes option enables support for security attribute propagation during login requests. When selected, the application server retains additional information about the login request, such as the authentication strength used, and retains the identity and location of the request originator.
The Use identity assertion option specifies that identity assertion is a way to assert identities from one server to another during a downstream EJB invocation.
The Use server trusted identity option specifies the server identity that the application server uses to establish trust with the target server.
The Specify an alternative trusted identity option enables us to specify an alternative user as the trusted identity sent to the target servers instead of sending the server identity. If we select this option provide the name of the trusted identity and the password associated with the trusted identity.
We must select Basic Authentication under the Message Layer authentication section to send an alternative trusted identity. If we do not select Basic Authentication, then choose the Server Identity instead.
- Under CSIv2 Message layer authentication, select Supported, Never or Required.
- Never
- This server cannot accept an authentication mechanism that we select under Allow client to server authentication with:.
- Supported
- Clients communicating with this server can specify an authentication mechanism that we select under Allow client to server authentication with:. However, a method might be invoked without this type of authentication. For example, an anonymous or client certificate might be used instead.
- Required
- Clients communicating with this server must specify an authentication mechanism that we select under Allow client to server authentication with:.
Upon enabling Location Service Daemon (LSD), CSIv2 inbound and CSIv2 outbound message layer authentication in global security needs to be set as either Required or Supported.
- Under Allow client to server authentication with:, select Kerberos, LTPA and or Basic authentication. We can optionally select:.
- Kerberos
- Enable authentication using the Kerberos token.
- LTPA
- Enable authentication using the Lightweight Third-Party Authentication (LTPA) token.
- Basic authentication
- This type of authentication typically involves sending a user ID and a password from the client to the server for authentication. This is also know as Generic Security Services Username Password (GSSUP).
This authentication also involves delegating a credential token from an already authenticated credential, provided the credential type is forwardable; for example, LTPA.
If we select supported under CSIv2 Message layer authentication, and check KRB5 and LTPA under Allow client to server authentication with:, then the server does not accept the user name and password.
- Optional: Select Custom outbound mapping. This option enables the use of custom Remote Method Invocation (RMI) outbound login modules.
We have now configured messages for CSIv2 outbound.
