Run monitoring applications with security enabled

To run your performance monitoring application in a secured environment, specify security information in the appropriate properties file.

Note: Do not leave extra spaces at the ends of the lines in the properties files.

Run monitoring applications from your iSeries server

On the iSeries server, the soap.client.props and sas.client.props files are located in the /QIBM/UserData/WebAS5/edition/instance/properties directory, where edition is Base for WebSphere Application Server and ND for WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, and instance is the name of your WebSphere Application Server instance.

• If you use SOAP to access the application server, make these changes to the soap.client.props file:

  1. Set the com.ibm.SOAP.securityEnabled property to true.
  2. Set com.ibm.SOAP.loginUserid and com.ibm.SOAP.loginPassword properties to a valid user ID and password, respectively.

• If you use RMI to access the application server, make these changes to the sas.client.props file:

  1. Set the com.ibm.CORBA.securityEnabled property to true.
  2. Set the com.ibm.CORBA.loginSource property to properties.
  3. Set the com.ibm.CORBA.loginUserid and com.ibm.CORBA.loginPassword properties to a valid user ID and password, respectively.

  Note: These properties can also be passed as Java properties on the Java command line call to your program.

Run monitoring applications from a workstation

If you are running a monitoring application from a workstation, specify security information in the properties files on the workstation. The soap.client.props and sas.client.props files are located on your workstation in the was_install_root/properties directory, where was_install_root is the directory where you installed the workstation components of WebSphere Application Server.

• For Tivoli Performance Viewer, make these changes to the soap.client.props file:

  1. Set the com.ibm.SOAP.securityEnabled property to true.
  2. Set com.ibm.SOAP.loginUserid and com.ibm.SOAP.loginPassword properties to a valid user ID and password, respectively.

• For other performance monitoring applications, or if you are using RMI to access the application server, make these changes to the sas.client.props file:

  1. Set the com.ibm.CORBA.securityEnabled property to true.
  2. Set the com.ibm.CORBA.loginSource property to properties.
  3. Set the com.ibm.CORBA.loginUserid and com.ibm.CORBA.loginPassword properties to a valid user ID and password, respectively.

  Note: These properties can also be passed as Java properties on the Java command line call to your program.
