Authenticating incoming requests with TFIM V6.1
You can configure a message flow to perform identity authentication by using Tivoli® Federated Identity Manager (TFIM) V6.1.
Before you begin
Before you can configure a message flow to perform identity authentication, you need to check that an appropriate security profile exists, or create a new security profile. See Creating a security profile for TFIM V6.1.
About this task
- Issuer = Properties.IdentitySourceIssuedBy
- Applies To = The Fully Qualified Name of the Flow: <integrationNodeName>.<Integration Server Name>.<Message Flow Name>
- Token = Properties.IdentitySourceToken
For more information about these parameters, see Authentication, mapping, and authorization with TFIM V6.1 and TAM.
For further information about how to configure TFIM, see the IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager product documentation online.
Steps for enabling TFIM authentication:
Procedure
- Switch to the Integration Development perspective.
- In the Application Development view, right-click the BAR file, then click Open with > BAR Editor.
- Click the Manage and Configure tab.
- Click the flow or node on which you want to set the
security profile. The properties that you can configure for the message flow or for the node are displayed in the Properties view.
- In the Security Profile Name field, select a security profile that uses TFIM for authentication.
- Save the BAR file.
What to do next
If the message identity does not contain enough information for authentication, the information must be taken from the message body. For example, if a password is required for authentication but the message came from IBM MQ with only a username, the password information must be taken from the message body. For more information, see Configuring the extraction of an identity or security token.
