Enable Attribute Based Security for WCM

Attribute based security for Web Content Manager content is an access filter in the product filter chain. We can extend the access control permission checks for WCM content beyond the user or group-based decisions. We can define the own criteria. The criteria might involve categories, keywords, textComponents, htmlComponents, or shortTextComponents for an item.

1. Place the attribute-based security implementation class in...
   the WP_PROFILE/PortalServer/shared/app

2. Restart the WebSphere_Portal server.

3. Log in to the WAS admin console and go to...
   Resources | Resource Environment | Resource Environment Providers | WP AccessControlDataManagementService | Custom properties

4. Set accessControlDataManagement.enableAttributeBasedSecurityFilter property to true.

5. Set accessControlDataManagement.AccessControlAttributeBasedSecurityImpl property to the value of the security implementation class in...
   WP_PROFILE/PortalServer/shared/app directory
   For example, enter com.ibm.portal.ac.AccessControlAttributeBasedSecurityImpl.

6. Save the changes.

7. Restart the WebSphere_Portal server.
