Security Configuration

You use the Security Configuration module to create and modify security data that is used in ALSB inbound security and administrative security.

Inbound transport-level security and message-level security use the user, group, and role data to authenticate inbound client requests. It applies access control policies to determine which authenticated users are authorized to use proxy services and business services.

Administrative security uses the user, group, and role data to determine which authenticated users are authorized to create or modify ALSB configuration data or to monitor ALSB performance. For more information, see Understanding Users, Groups, Security Roles and Policies. See also Configuring Administrative Security in the AquaLogic Service Bus Security Guide.

Note: You cannot export users, groups, or roles when you export a configuration because these objects are located in security provider stores. You must create these objects again when you import the exported configuration or use WebLogic Server tools (if available) to export and import them.
