Tasks
Administrative security
We suggest enabling admin security to prevent unauthorized access to the admin tasks. Enabling admin security only secures administration tasks, not apps.
After admin security is enabled, there is a security check when the Integrated Solutions Console or other adminstrative facilities are accessed. The security check makes sure that the accessing user is authenticated and has been mapped to one of the console security roles. Depending on the console role to which the user is mapped, different functions will be available.
Proper planning for system management includes identifying the people who will need access as well as the level of access to the admin tools. You will need to consider and design a set of groups, users, and roles that fit the needs.
You should review the available roles and access levels in the Information Center.
WAS gives we the option to enable admin security during profile creation. If we choose this option during profile creation, we will be asked to provide a user ID and password that will be stored in a set of XML files and be mapped to the Administrator role. Additional users can be added after profile creation using the admin tools.
