Configuring identity authentication and security token validation

You can configure a message flow to perform identity authentication or security token validation by using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), a WS-Trust V1.3 compliant Security Token Service (STS) such as Tivoli® Federated Identity Manager (TFIM) Version 6.2, or HTTP requests. Support for TFIM V6.1 is also provided, for compatibility with previous versions of IBM® App Connect Enterprise. Alternatively, you can configure a message flow or integration server to authenticate requests against credentials that are stored locally in the integration server's vault.

Before you begin

Check that an appropriate security profile exists, or create a new security profile. See Creating a security profile.
