Enabling WebSphere Application Server security
You can enable WebSphere Application Server security, which includes two orthogonal components: WebSphere global security and Java 2 security.
- Updating the HCL Commerce configuration with your WebSphere Application Server
administrative security credentials
HCL Commerce must know your WebSphere Application Server administrative security (global security) user ID and password in order to successfully complete automated configuration and deployment tasks. When you change your WebSphere Application Server administrative security (global security) user ID or password, you must store the updates in the HCL Commerce configuration.
- Enabling WebSphere global security
Global security represents the security configuration that is effective for the entire security domain. It includes the configuration of the common user registry, authentication mechanism, Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) role-based authorization, the Common Secure Interoperability Version 2 (CSIv2) authentication protocol, and the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) configuration. In particular, J2EE role-based authorization guards access to Web resources such as servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP) files, and Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) methods.
- Enabling Java 2 security
HCL Commerce supports Java 2 security. It is disabled by default, but enabled automatically when you enable WebSphere global security. You can, however, choose to disable Java 2 security when you enable WebSphere global security and generally configure Java 2 security and WebSphere global security independently of one another.
