Configuring an Application for Security
An application administrator configures security for the application on the MASTER machine when the application is inactive. The underlying BEA Tuxedo system propagates the configuration information to the other machines in the application when the application is booted.
As the administrator, you can configure security for your application by:
The set of security parameters involved depends upon the security capability (authentication, authorization, link-level encryption, or public key) and whether you are using the default or custom security software.
Editing the Configuration File
You can edit the UBBCONFIG configuration file to set security policies for a BEA Tuxedo application. The UBBCONFIG configuration file may have any file name, as long as the content of the file conforms to the format described on the UBBCONFIG(5) reference page in BEA Tuxedo File Formats and Data Descriptions Reference.
For more details about UBBCONFIG and its binary equivalent, TUXCONFIG, see About the Configuration File and Creating the Configuration File in Setting Up a BEA Tuxedo Application.
Changing the TM_MIB
The TM_MIB defines a set of classes through which the fundamental aspects of a BEA Tuxedo application may be configured and managed. Separate classes are designated for machines, servers, networks, and so on. You should use the reference page TM_MIB(5) in combination with the generic Management Information Base (MIB) reference page MIB(5) to format administrative requests and interpret administrative replies. The MIB reference pages are defined in BEA Tuxedo File Formats and Data Descriptions Reference.
Other component MIBs, including the ACL_MIB, DM_MIB, and WS_MIB, also play a role in managing security for a BEA Tuxedo application. The reference page ACL_MIB(5) defines the ACL_MIB, the reference page DM_MIB(5) defines the DM_MIB, and the reference page WS_MIB(5) defines the WS_MIB.
For more information about BEA Tuxedo MIBs, start with MIB(5) in BEA Tuxedo File Formats and Data Descriptions Reference. Also, see Managing Operations Using the MIB in Introducing the BEA Tuxedo System.
Using the BEA Administration Console
You can also use the BEA Administration Console to change security policies for a BEA Tuxedo application. The BEA Administration Console is a Web-based tool used to configure, monitor, and dynamically re-configure an application.
For details about the BEA Administration Console, see Using the BEA Administration Console in Introducing the BEA Tuxedo System.
