When a profile is created, default values are used for security credentials. After the profile is created, the security settings can be configured using the administrative console.

Before you begin

Note: The credentials that you provide must exist in the user account repository that you are using.

About this task

When you create a profile, the following components of IBM® Business Automation Workflow take the administrator user identity as a default:
  • Service component architecture (SCA)
  • Business Process Choreographer
  • Common Event Infrastructure (CEI)

The identities associated with these components are used to create authentication aliases that are required when security is enabled. It is important to change these identities to appropriate users from your account repository.

Procedure

To create and configure the security settings for a profile, use the administrative console to complete the following steps.

  1. Display the Business Integration Security page.
    Expand Security, and then click Business Integration Security.
  2. For each of the component authentication aliases, provide an appropriate user name and password that is to be used as the authentication alias for this component.
    1. To select the alias that you want to change, click its name in the Alias column.
      In some cases, the Alias column might not provide a link, in which case you select the check box in the Select column corresponding to the alias that you want to edit, and click Edit.
    2. On the next page, provide the user name and password that is to be used as the authentication alias for this component.
      Note: The credentials that you provide must exist in the user account repository that you are using.
    3. Click OK.
