Securing Operational Decision Manager

IBM Operational Decision Manager provides servers and components for use in IT environments for software development, testing, and production. Securing these applications and their data is important to meeting your organization's compliance and security requirements.

Operational Decision Manager on premises can be deployed on an application server such as WebSphere® Liberty. For this, you must design the application topology in accordance with your IT requirements and to ensure future scalability. The servers and the connections between the applications must be configured and secured.

Operational Decision Manager on IBM Cloud Private uses a container-based deployment strategy. The Operational Decision Manager applications come in Docker containers that are orchestrated in a Kubernetes model. For more information, see Introducing ODM on IBM® Cloud Private.

Operational Decision Manager on Cloud is a cloud-based service that you subscribe to. IBM maintains this service, freeing you to focus on solution development and deployment. For more information, see IBM Operational Decision Manager on Cloud.

The following sections describe how you can secure Operational Decision Manager on your application server, though many of the sections also apply to Operational Decision Manager on IBM Cloud Private. The examples use WebSphere Liberty as the application server.
