Configuring application security

Applications deployed to your IBM® Business Process Manager instance require security to be built into them which will later be applied at run time.

About this task

The applications that you host in your IBM Business Process Manager environment perform many business critical functions that require security. Some applications will access, transfer, or alter sensitive information (for example, payroll information or credit card details). Others will perform billing or inventory management. The security of these applications is vitally important.

Important: Application security is required by IBM Business Process Manager and must not be turned off in the administrative console.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that administrative security is enabled.
  2. Ensure that application security is enabled.
    1. On the administrative console, expand Security and click Global security.
    2. Select Enable application security so that IBM Business Process Manager will require authentication from users who try to access a secured application.
  3. Develop your applications in Integration Designer using all appropriate security features.
  4. Deploy your applications to your IBM Business Process Manager environment, assigning users or groups to appropriate security roles.
  5. Maintain the security of your IBM Business Process Manager environment.
