MIF Object Structure authorization

Question & Answer


Question

How to manage security on Object Structures to prevent users from modifying data with HTTP servlets?

Answer

In the Object structures application there are two ways to manage security:

1) Application-level authorization

Menu - Object Application Authorization: In the Authorized Application field, specify the application to authorize.

To restrict access to the object structure, do not grant access to the application listed in this option.

2) Object structure-level authorization. Feature starting in version 7.6.0.5.
Enabled with System property mxe.int.enableosauth
a) mxe.int.enableosauth=1 means that authorization must be configured for the object structure - In the Object Structure application - Menu Configure Object Structure Security. The object structure behaves like an application with this configuration - you can't use it unless granted authorization.
b) mxe.int.enableosauth=0 means that authorization configuration is not required in the Object Structure application.
