Configure WebSphere Application Server security
For setting up APIs for the external web application server on the IBM Content Collector server, you need to configure the WebSphere Application Server.
I. Enabling security for API calls
IBM Content Collector (ICC) restricts web application services APIs to protect message exchanges. Therefore, you need to enable security for API calls.
- Start the WebSphere Application Server administrative console.
Replace serverName with the name of your web application server and enter the following web address in a browser:
http://serverName:11043/ibm/console - Enable administrative security.
Refer to Enabling WebSphere Application Server administrative security. - Enable application security.
Refer to Enabling WebSphere Application Server application security. - Provide certificates for API calls.
Refer to Providing certificates for Web Application services API calls.
II. Stopping web application
In case you have changed any web application configuration settings after performing step 4, you need to restart the ICC external web application service. You can stop the service in two ways:
- Using the Windows Services app
- Using the stopserver batch script
Note: However, after enabling security for the WebSphere Application Server, the ICC external web application service may fail to stop using the Windows Service app. In that case, use the batch script as shown below.
Use the WebSphere Application Server administrator credentials for running this script.
- Open the command prompt and navigate to <WAS_INSTALL_DIR>/bin.
- Run this command:
stopserver afuServer -profileName AFUWeb -username admin_username -password admin_password
