Enabling security by using the Administrative Console for WebSphere

To enable application and administrative security:
  1. From the Servers view in the Workbench, start a WebSphere® V7.0 server.
  2. Right click on the server, click Administration > Run administrative console, .
  3. When you are prompted, type a user id. Because administrative security is not yet enabled, the user id is not really used.
  4. In the Administrative Console, take the following steps:
    1. Expand Security.
    2. For WebSphere V7.0, select Global security.
    3. From the Available realm definitions, select the type of user registry to use. In this example, use Local operating system.
    4. Click Set as current.
    5. Click Configure. The configuration page for the realm opens.
    6. Enter the properties. Note the Primary administrative user name, which you must also enter in the User ID field of the server configuration that is described in the next section. For Local operating system, type the user id that you use to log in to your operating system.
    7. Click OK to return to Global security for WebSphere V7.0.
    8. Click Enable administrative security, which also selects Enable application security.
    9. Clear the Use Java™ 2 security to restrict access to local resources checkbox.
    10. Click Apply > Save.
    11. Exit the Administrative Console and stop the server. Before you start the server again, follow the instructions in "Enable security in the server configuration for WebSphere."
