Remote Tuxedo Access Points --> Security

Tasks     Related Topics     Attributes

Overview

Access Control Lists (ACLs) limit the access to local services within a local Tuxedo access point by restricting the remote Tuxedo access points that can execute these services. Inbound policy from a remote Tuxedo access point is specified using the AclPolicy element. Outbound policy towards a remote Tuxedo access point is specified using the CredentialPolicy element. This allows WebLogic Server and Tuxedo applications to share the same set of users and the users are able to propagate their credentials from one system to the other.

This release of WebLogic Tuxedo Connector provides the following AppKey Generator plug-ins to provide user security information to Tuxedo:

Attribute Label

Description

Value Constraints

Acl Policy

The inbound access control list (ACL) policy toward requests from a remote access point.

  • If Interoperate is set to Yes, AclPolicy is ignored.

  • LOCAL: The local access point modifies the identity of service requests received from a given remote access point to the principal name specified in the local principal name for a given remote access point.

  • GLOBAL: The local access point passes the service request with no change in identity.

MBean: weblogic.management.
configuration.
WTCRemoteTuxDomMBean

Attribute: AclPolicy

Default: "LOCAL"

Valid values:

  • "GLOBAL"

  • "LOCAL"

Credential Policy

The outbound access control list (ACL) policy toward requests to a remote access point.

  • If Interoperate is set to Yes, CredentialPolicy is ignored.

  • LOCAL: The remote access point controls the identity of service requests received from the local access point to the principal name specified in the local principal name for this remote access point.

  • GLOBAL: The remote access point passes the service request with no change.

MBean: weblogic.management.
configuration.
WTCRemoteTuxDomMBean

Attribute: CredentialPolicy

Default: "LOCAL"

Valid values:

  • "GLOBAL"

  • "LOCAL"

Min Encryption Level

The minimum encryption key length (in bits) used when establishing a network connection for a local access point.

  • A value of 0 indicates no encryption is used.

  • The value of the MinEncrypBits attribute must be less than or equal to the value of the MaxEncrypBits attribute.

  • A MinEncrypBits of 40 can be used only with access points running Tuxedo 7.1 or higher.

MBean: weblogic.management.
configuration.
WTCRemoteTuxDomMBean

Attribute: MinEncryptBits

Default: "0"

Valid values:

  • "0"

  • "40"

  • "56"

  • "128"

Max Encryption Level

The maximum encryption key length (in bits) used when establishing a network connection for a local access point.

  • A value of 0 indicates no encryption is used.

  • The value of the MaxEncryptBits attribute must be greater than or equal to the value of the MinEncrypBits attribute.

  • A MaxEncryptBits of 40 can be used only with access points running Tuxedo 7.1 or higher.

MBean: weblogic.management.
configuration.
WTCRemoteTuxDomMBean

Attribute: MaxEncryptBits

Default: "128"

Valid values:

  • "0"

  • "40"

  • "56"

  • "128"

Allow Anonymous

Specifies whether the anonymous user is allowed to access Tuxedo. If the anonymous user is allowed to access Tuxedo, the default AppKey will be used for TpUsrFile and LDAP AppKey plug-ins. Interaction with the Custom AppKey plug-in depends on the design of the Custom AppKey generator.

MBean: weblogic.management.
configuration.
WTCRemoteTuxDomMBean

Attribute: AllowAnonymous

Default: false

Valid values:

  • true

  • false

Default AppKey

The default AppKey value to be used by the anonymous user and other users who are not defined in the user database if the AppKey plug-in allows them to access Tuxedo. The TpUsrFile and LDAP plug-ins do not allow users that are not defined in user database to access Tuxedo unless Allow Anonymous is enabled.

MBean: weblogic.management.
configuration.
WTCRemoteTuxDomMBean

Attribute: DefaultAppKey

Default: "-1"

AppKey Generator

Specifies the type of AppKey plug-in used. You can choose from the following:

  • TpUsrFile.

  • LDAP.

  • Custom.

The TpUsrFile is the default plug-in. It uses an imported Tuxedo TPUSR file to provide user security information. Previous releases of WebLogic Tuxedo Connector support this option.

The LDAP plug-in utilizes an embedded LDAP server to provide user security information. The user record must define the Tuxedo UID and GID information in the description field. This functionality is not supported in previous releases of WebLogic Tuxedo Connector.

A Custom plug-in is provided by users who write their own AppKey generator class to provide the security information required by Tuxedo. This functionality is not supported in previous releases of WebLogic Tuxedo Connector.

MBean: weblogic.management.
configuration.
WTCRemoteTuxDomMBean

Attribute: AppKey

Default: "TpUsrFile"

Valid values:

  • "TpUsrFile"

  • "LDAP"

  • "Custom"

Tp User File

The full path to the user password file containing UID/GID information. This file is generated by the Tuxedo tpusradd utility on the remote Tuxedo domain specified by the remote Tuxedo access point. A copy of this file must be available in your WebLogic Tuxedo Connector environment to provide correct authorization, authentication, and auditing.

MBean: weblogic.management.
configuration.
WTCRemoteTuxDomMBean

Attribute: TpUsrFile


Tuxedo UID Keyword

The keyword for Tuxedo UID (user id) when using the Tuxedo migration utility tpmigldap. This keyword is used to find the Tuxedo UID in the user record of the embedded LDAP database.

MBean: weblogic.management.
configuration.
WTCRemoteTuxDomMBean

Attribute: TuxedoUidKw

Default: "TUXEDO_UID"

Tuxedo GID Keyword

The keyword for Tuxedo GID (group id) used when using the Tuxedo migration utility tpmigldap. The keyword is used to find Tuxedo GID in the user record of the embedded LDAP database.

MBean: weblogic.management.
configuration.
WTCRemoteTuxDomMBean

Attribute: TuxedoGidKw

Default: "TUXEDO_GID"

Custom AppKey Class

The full pathname to the custom AppKey generator class. The class at this location is loaded at runtime if the Custom AppKey plug-in is selected.

MBean: weblogic.management.
configuration.
WTCRemoteTuxDomMBean

Attribute: CustomAppKeyClass


Custom AppKey Param

The optional parameters to be used by the custom AppKey class at the class initialization time.

MBean: weblogic.management.
configuration.
WTCRemoteTuxDomMBean

Attribute: CustomAppKeyClassParam
