1. ® IBM Software Group © 2006 IBM Corporation Securing Your Application With WebSphere Security You will need to develop Login procedures for your web applications. This short section describes how to do this for WebSphere Application Servers, connected to an authentication Server such as LDAP – or any other security realm Note that this is an involved lab – that will take at least an hour. Ideally you should get assistance from your WebSphere administrator, before starting.

2. 2 Last update: 12/04/2007  WebSphere Security - Overview  You will perform the following tasks, to enable WebSphere security for your project: 1.Create a Login Page – that conforms to the WebSphere Security requirements  (Optionally) Create an Error page – that can be specified to your WAR file, as the page to automatically re-direct to, when a Login error occurs 2.Enable security for your WebSphere Application Server 3.Enable security for your WAR (web.xml) file 4.Enable security for your WebSphere Server Configuration 5.Setup security for your Enterprise Application Resource (EAR) file 6.Code your EGL calls to J2EELIB – to:  Return the user-ID  Determine if the user is in a particular role  In this lab, we will show you how to enable WebSphere for Local operating system security. If you wanted to actually integrate LDAP, RACF or any other security “realm” your WebSphere administrator would have to assist you with this. WARNING  WARNING – In fact, you should probably obtain assistance from your WebSphere administrator before starting this section. Because:  These processes are complex – a great deal of security semantics are involved  You could actually – if you make mistakes in doing this, you could conceivably cause WebSphere to not be able to boot. Period.

3. 3 Last update: 12/04/2007 1. WebSphere and LDAP Security – Create Login and Error Pages  WebSphere requires that you define a.JSP page, that calls WebSphere internal methods passing specific-named variables as parameters within the form.  At this point in time, this can not be an EGL/JSF page (it must be.JSP/Java)  In the Notes section of this slide we’ve given you an example of such a page. To implement in your project:  Create a new page in \WebContent\ named: login.jsp  From the notes section of this slide, copy and paste all of the.JSP and HTML source  Using Page Designer, edit your login.jsp in Source mode  Select all of the existing source (Ctrl/A)  Paste your copied source in (Ctrl/V)  Save and test by running the page on the server

4. 4 Last update: 12/04/2007  Next you will setup the WebSphere Server to enable Security on a given “realm”  The Security realm could be:  RACF  LDAP  Local operating system  The Security realm authenticates the User-ID/Password combination passed to it, by WebSphere  In this section you will:  Define a Security configuration for using your local operating system as the Security realm  Enable WebSphere for Security 2.

9. 9 Last update: 12/04/2007  3. Secure the WAR (web.xml) File – 1 of 4 – Add a Security Role  Now you will add one or more Security Roles to your WAR (web.xml) file  (example: user, admin, manager, etc.)  (example: user, admin, manager, etc.).  You will then add one or more Security Constraints – and for each constraint, you will specify:  Web resource collection – Essentially, these are constraint rules, or what a defined constraint allows an application user to “do”  Authorized users – which of the Security Roles is assigned to the constraint – effectively limiting individuals who login to the application to be able to “do” what you want them to (and only what you want them to )  From Project Explorer – Expand \WebContent\WEB-INF\ and open web.xml  From the Security tab, Add… one or more Security roles
