Configuring cross-cell security for IBM Process Center
Before registering a Process Center with another Process Center in different cell, you must complete security configuration. Once the security configuration between the cells is completed, a Process Center in one cell can register a Process Center in another cell with HTTPS protocol over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
Before you begin
Before you configure a cross-cell setup, install and configure IBM® Business Process Manager Advanced or IBM Business Process Manager Standard in another cell.

In simple proof-of-concept scenarios where you want to demonstrate Process Center registration and sharing capabilities without setting up security trust, HTTP protocol can be specified during the Process Center registration step. This type of setup assumes that same set of users exist in the user registry of both Process Centers. For proof of concept scenarios, the primary username and password should be the same on both Process Centers.
This document describes the minimum security setup required to establish trust among the cells participating in Process Center sharing. The setup in a production environment can be as simple as described here or can be more complex based on the specific security guidelines for your environment.
