Configuring WebLogic Tuxedo Connector for Tuxedo Transport

AquaLogic Service Bus Tuxedo Transport enables access to BEA Tuxedo services using WebLogic Tuxedo Connector (WTC). To use the Tuxedo Transport, you must configure a basic WTC server including one local access point and one remote access point.

The following sections describe how to configure WTC:

  5. Access Point – A name for this access point.

    Access Point ID – The unique name WebLogic Server will use to refer to the access point. This value must match the Remote Access Point ID that the Tuxedo domain gateway has been configured to use for this WTC instance.

    Network Address – This value must match the remote network address that the Tuxedo domain gateway has been configured to use for this WTC instance.

  6. Click OK.

Create a Remote Access Point

  6. Click OK.

Activate Changes

To activate the changes you made, click Activate Changes on the WebLogic Server Administration Console.

Create a User ID

In order to allow a remote Tuxedo domain to perform inbound calls, the connection should be identified.

If a remote Tuxedo domain calls a service advertised by AquaLogic Service Bus, running the client as is will result in an error “8” (TPEPERM: permission denied) being returned. To allow inbound calls, you should create a user in the default security realm with the same name as the remote Tuxedo domain Access Point ID.

Note: You do not need to be in session to create a user.

Perform the following steps to add the user TUXDOM:

  1. Click Security Realms under the your application’s Security Settings tab.
  2. Click myrealm (or your default realm if your security settings have been customized).
  3. Select the Users and Groups tab.
  4. Figure 2-5 Defining a User
