Configuring identity authentication and security token validation

You can configure a message flow to perform identity authentication or security token validation using Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), a WS-Trust V1.3 compliant Security Token Service (STS) such as Tivoli® Federated Identity Manager (TFIM) Version 6.2, or HTTP requests. Support for TFIM V6.1 is also provided, for compatibility with previous versions of IBM® Integration Bus.

Before you begin

Check that an appropriate security profile exists, or create a new security profile. See Creating a security profile.
