Enable security
After you have established that your new runtime environment is configured correctly, you can safely enable the required level of security on each of the components within your runtime environment.
About this task
Review the following list for guidance:
- If you are using mixed-case passwords, password phrase (passphrase) values, or multi-factor authentication (MFA), review possible additional configuration in OMEGAMON user authentication (passwords, password phrases, and MFA).
- If you are using the OMEGAMON® enhanced 3270 user interface to view data, you can configure authorization by following the steps described in Enable security for the OMEGAMON enhanced 3270 user interface.
- If you are using the Tivoli Enterprise Portal to view data, you can create user accounts that authorize users to view the monitored data and enable authentication of those accounts by enabling security through the hub monitoring server or through the portal server. For instructions on enabling authentication on a hub monitoring server on Windows, Linux™ and UNIX operating systems, see the IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Administrator's Guide. For instructions on enabling authentication on a hub monitoring server on z/OS® systems, see Configuring security on a monitoring server on z/OS.
- If you are using Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server (TEMS) REST services, you can enable security by following the steps described in Securing TEMS REST services.
- If you intend to use the OMEGAMON 3270 Classic interface for a monitoring agent, review security considerations in OMEGAMON 3270 Classic interface security. Also, see the product-specific planning and configuration guide for each agent.
- If you use the SAF general resource class $KOBSEC for security for any of your components, review Using SAF general resource class $KOBSEC.
- If you intend to use autonomous agents on a z/OS system and the ICSF subsystem is available on the z/OS system, you can enable SNMP V3 passwords. For more information, see Enabling SNMP V3 passwords for autonomous agents.
