IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager, Version 6.2.1

Configuring Java 2 security

If you have selected the Enforce Java 2 security box in the WebSphere® Application Server Global Security settings, you must configure the library.policy file for the Tivoli® Federated Identity Manager node.

Before you begin

To configure the library.policy file, you must add to it the permissions that are specified in the sample wssm.policy file that was installed with the Web services security management component files.

About this task

To perform this task, you must be familiar with editing WebSphere Application Server policy files using the WebSphere Application Server Policy Tool. Refer to the following topics in the WebSphere Application Server Information Center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ws60help/index.jsp:

After reviewing these topics, continue with the following procedure:

Procedure

  1. Open a command prompt on the system where Tivoli Federated Identity Manager is installed.
  2. Navigate to the directory that contains the files for the Web services security management component. The files can be found in the following default locations:
    UNIX® and Linux®
    /opt/IBM/FIM/wssm/etc
    Windows®
    C:\Program Files\IBM\FIM\wssm\etc
    z/OS®
    /usr/lpp/FIM/wssm/etc
  3. Locate the wssm.policy file and open it in a text editor.
  4. Make any changes to the paths as required for your environment. Then save the file. Keep the file open so that you can use its contents to modify the library.policy file on the WebSphere Application Server.
  5. Log in to the WebSphere Application Server and open a command prompt.
  6. Using the Policy Tool as described in the WebSphere Application Server Information Center, modify the library.policy file with the information from the wssm.policy file. The library.policy file can be found in the following default locations:
    AIX®
    - /usr/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/AppSrv01/config/cells/fim6ode01Cell/nodes/fim6Node01
    UNIX and Linux
    /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer for UNIX/profiles/AppSrv01/config/cells/fim6ode01Cell/nodes/fim6Node01
    Windows
    C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\config\cells\fim6ode01Cell\nodes\fim6Node01
    z/OS
    /usr/lpp/WebSphere/V6R0/profiles/AppSrv01/config/cells/fim6ode01Cell/nodes/fim6Node01
    Note: These path names have been formatted to fit this page.
  7. Restart the WebSphere Application Server.
