Configuring security and authorization

InfoSphere® MDM Reference Data Management Hub uses a role-based security concept. Activities and states entities are related to roles, which are linked to groups you define in the application server. Users are members of these groups.

Procedure

  1. Configure the web application server security. See Security access control.
  2. Create groups in WebSphere® or LDAP. See Creating groups in the WebSphere Application Server repository.
  3. Create owner groups in InfoSphere MDM Reference Data Management Hub. See Creating custom groups in InfoSphere MDM Reference Data Management Hub.
  4. Create users in WebSphere or LDAP and assign them to groups. See Creating and assigning users.
  5. Add roles, if needed. See Creating roles.
  6. Associate the roles with the WebSphere or LDAP groups. See Assigning roles to groups in WebSphere Application Server.
  7. Restart the RDMClientEAR application in WebSphere.
