Configuring security for OSGi applications

Use CICS® resource security to authorize which users can manage the lifecycle of the JVMSERVER and the Java™ applications. Use CICS transaction security to determine who can access the application.

Procedure

  • Authorize application developers and system administrators to create, view, update, and remove JVMSERVER and BUNDLE resources as appropriate. The JVMSERVER resource controls the availability of the JVM server. The BUNDLE resource is a unit of deployment for the Java application and controls the availability of the application.
  • Authorize users to run the application by ensuring the relevant user ID is allowed to attach the transaction under which the application will run.

Results

You have successfully configured security for Java applications that run in an OSGi framework.
