Security

The Worklist Manager Console is secured using the standard Java EE security mechanism for web applications. The WLM SE supports both file realm security and LDAP security for authentication, authorization, and management of Worklist Manager Console users. Both the file realm and LDAP realm are configured through the GlassFish Admin Console. For the file realm, users and their login information are also configured through the GlassFish Admin Console. For LDAP, you can use your existing directory structure. For escalation, it is useful to have a clearly defined user hierarchy so tasks can be escalated to a user's manager or supervisor.

You can assign users and groups from an LDAP directory using the compact LDAP browser in the Task Definition Editor. The WLM SE supports the following LDAP servers:

• Sun Java System Directory Server

• OpenDS

• Windows Server Active Directory
