Disable and enable Portal Access Control for a WSRP Producer portal


If we use authentication by Web services security or Secure Socket Layer (SSL) client certificate to provide security for your WSRP services, you also configure Portal Access Control for the Producer.

By default Portal Access Control is enabled for the Producer portal. To disable Portal Access Control when using WSRP with WebSphere Portal, deactivate the WSRP security by setting the portal configuration parameter wsrp.security.enabled in the portal Config Service to false. With this setting all portlets that the Producer portal provides can be accessed through the WSRP protocol without any authentication.

To enable Portal Access Control for the Producer portal again, set the portal configuration parameter wsrp.security.enabled in the portal Config Service to true.

For details about setting portal service configuration parameters and for more general information about these parameters refer to the topics about Setting service configuration properties and about the Portal configuration services.

To enable Portal Access Control for WSRP on a Producer portal...

  1. Activate the WSRP security by setting the property wsrp.security.enabled to true in the portal Config Service

  2. Assign access rights based on the authentication information:

    • If we use Web services security, assign access rights to the actual Consumer portal users. Get the user information from the Consumer.

    • If we use SSL client certificate authentication, assign access rights to the shared user ID as specified in the client certificate.
