Securing WAS profiles (WebSphere application servers only)

As specifically directed by the IBM WebSphere administration documentation, you should ensure that your WebSphere installation meets these general recommendations:

• Standalone configuration - Secure the default profile

• Network Deployment configuration - Create a new profile and secure that profile

• Recommended method of securing profile via WAS Integrated Solutions Console:

  • Administrative security: Enable Administrative security.

  • Application security: Enable application security.

  • Java 2 security: Disabled.

  • User account repositories: Federated repositories with the admin_user and admin_password (same as defined in soap.client.props file for profile).
