Disabling bus security

If you do not require messaging security, you can choose to disable messaging security. Any new buses added after messaging is disabled are not secured.

Before you begin

  • Ensure that there are no indoubt transactions on the messaging engine because incomplete transactions cannot be recovered after the bus security is disabled.
  • Stop all servers on which the SIB Service enabled before you disable bus security. This ensures that the bus security configuration is applied consistently when the servers are restarted.

About this task

Messaging security is enabled by default, providing administrative security for the cell is enabled. However, there might be circumstances when you do not require messaging security, for example on a development system. In this case, you can use the administrative console to disable messaging security. If you want to re-enable bus security, see Securing buses.

Procedure

  1. In the navigation pane, click Service integration -> Buses.
    A list of buses is displayed.
  2. Find the bus for which you want to disable security, and click Enabled in the security column.
    The security settings for the selected bus are displayed.
  3. Clear the check box Enable bus security.
  4. Click Apply.
  5. Save your changes to the master configuration.

Results

You have disabled security for the selected bus.

What to do next

You must propagate the bus security configuration to all the affected nodes, and restart the servers. For more information, see Synchronizing nodes using the wsadmin scripting tool and Starting an application server.
