Authentication Configuration

In this section, we will show you how to change the BEA AquaLogic Service Registry configuration to allow the following authentication providers:

HTTP Basic

Modify REGISTRY_HOME/app/uddi/services/Wasp-inf/package.xml to enable HTTP basic authentication as follows:

Under <processing name="UDDIv1v2v3PublishingProcessing"/>, uncomment <use ref="tns:HttpBasicInterceptor"/>. This enables the HTTP Basic authentication for UDDI Publishing API v1, v2, v3.
Under <processing name="UDDIv1v2v3InquiryProcessing">, add <use ref="tns:HttpBasicInterceptor"/>. This enables the HTTP Basic authentication for all three versions of the UDDI Inquiry API.
Under <processing name="wsdl2uddiProcessing">, add <use ref="tns:HttpBasicInterceptor"/>. This enables the HTTP Basic authentication for versions 2 and 3 of the WSDL2UDDI API.
Add the attribute accepting-security-providers="HttpBasic" to all service-endpoints you wish to access via HTTP Basic authentication.

A fragment of the package.xml is shown in Listing 13-1

Shutdown BEA AquaLogic Service Registry, delete the REGISTRY_HOME/work directory, and restart the registry.

        <use ref="tns:HttpBasicInterceptor"/>

Netegrity SiteMinder

Modify REGISTRY_HOME/app/uddi/services/Wasp-inf/package.xml as follows:

Under <processing name="UDDIv1v2v3PublishingProcessing"/>, add <use ref="tns:SiteMinderInterceptor"/>. This enables the SiteMinder authentication for all three versions of the UDDI Publishing API.
Under <processing name="UDDIv1v2v3InquiryProcessing">, add <use ref="tns:SiteMinderInterceptor"/>. This enables the SiteMinder authentication for versions 1, 2, and 3 of the Inquiry API.
Under <processing name="wsdl2uddiProcessing">, add <use ref="tns:SiteMinderInterceptor"/>. This enables the SiteMinder authentication for versions 2 and 3 of the WSDL2UDDI API.
Add the attribute accepting-security-providers="Siteminder" to all service-endpoints you wish to access via Netegrity SiteMinder authentication.
Under the elements <securityProviderPreferences> and <interceptor name="SiteMinderInterceptor", fill in:

– <loginNameHeader> - login name header

– <groupHeader> - group header

– <delimiter> - group name delimiter.

Note:

You must set the same element values to both <securityProviderPreferences> and <interceptor name="SiteMinderInterceptor" elements.

A fragment of the package.xml is shown in Listing 13-2

Shutdown BEA AquaLogic Service Registry, delete the REGISTRY_HOME/work directory, and restart the registry.

    </interceptor>

Consoles Configuration

In this section, we will show you how to configure authentication for both Registry Console and Business Service Console. The configuration of consoles is very similar to the configuration of other endpoints.

For the Registry Console, modify the file REGISTRY_HOME/app/uddi/web.jar/WASP-INF/package.xml with the following:

If you want to set Netegrity SiteMinder provider, use accepting-security-providers="Siteminder"

For the Business Service Console do the same in the file REGISTRY_HOME/app/uddi/bsc.jar/WASP-INF/package.xml

We just set authentication providers for both HTTP and HTTPS protocols. Now, we must specify which protocol consoles will be using for user authentication. The default registry configuration is to use HTTP for browsing and searching. HTTPS is used for publishing. To avoid displaying the login dialog twice, (for the first time when accessing via HTTP then the second time when accessing via HTTPS), modify the configuration to use only one protocol.

For the Registry Console, modify url and secureUrl elements in the file REGISTRY_HOME/app/uddi/conf/web.xml to have the same value:

For the Business Service Console, make the same change in the REGISTRY_HOME/app/uddi/bsc.jar/conf/web.xml file.
