IBM WebSphere V5.0 Security - CGISecurity

►Configuration files for the Cell will be created and the configuration files forindividual servers will change.10.15.1 Configuring security for the cellThere are three levels in the application server organization in WebSphere fromthe configuration point of view (starting from the lowest organizational level):►►►Server: represents the application servers, JMS servers.Node: represents the node in the architecture, in the network. From theadministration point of view, the Node is responsible for managing themultiple servers on the Node.Cell: represents multiple nodes collected into one centrally managed unit.From the administration point of view, the Cell is responsible for managing themultiple nodes and servers in the Cell.Security configuration, just like other configurations, can be defined on theselevels. However, most of the settings apply to the server and cell level.AdministrationOnce a node is attached to a cell, the servers are running within the cell; they canonly be configured from the deployment manager. To configure any server in thecell, go to the URL https://:9090/admin, where is the host name of the deployment manager machine.Security configurations in a cellThe following table is a collection of security items and settings in a WebSpherecell. You can use the table for guidance, or you can specify certain settings andthe scope of these settings when administering a cell.Table 10-10 Security settings in a cellItem Cell Node Server Appl.Enabling global security X XEnabling Java 2 security X XUser registryAuthentication ProtocolXXCSIv2 protocol settings X XIBM SAS protocol settings X XJAAS Logon Modules configuration X (C)* X (A)**Chapter 10.
