Configuring administrative security
During installation, all components default to the primary administrative credentials that you provide. These default values provide basic security, but to enhance the security of your installation, configure the various components of IBM® Business Process Manager with appropriate security identities.
About this task
When you create an IBM Business Process Manager profile and keep Enable administrative security selected,
you are prompted for a user name. This identity is used as a default
for all underlying components. Configure these identities after you
create profiles to further enhance your security
When
you configure IBM Business Process Manager, you
augment the default profile. Part of this profile augmentation process
involves providing a user name and password at various portions of
the response file. The user names and passwords that you provide must
correspond to an identity in the user registry chosen for this profile.
The user names and passwords you supply are required when you enable
administrative security.
Several components
of IBM Business Process Manager use
authentication aliases. These aliases are used to authenticate the
runtime component for access to databases and messaging engines. You
can modify these aliases on the Business Integration Security page of the administrative console.
Several components of IBM Business Process Manager use
authentication aliases. These aliases are used to authenticate the
runtime component for access to databases and messaging engines. The
profile augmentation process collects a valid user name and password
that is used to create these aliases.
