Extending the Security Identity Propagation sample

Because a true security implementation depends on the use of an external centralised security provider to define identities and authorizations, this samples does not implement security enforcement. In this section you can learn how to extend the sample to incorporate security enforcement using your own security provided, for example an LDAP server.

You can extend the sample to work with an LDAP server by completing the following tasks:

1. Create a Security profile for your LDAP server.
2. Reconfigure the Security profile setting on the input nodes to reference the name of the LDAP security profile you have created. This configuration is made in the BAR file editor.
3. Redeploy the flow.
4. Modify the identity passed in the input messages to match the credentials for valid identities that exist in your LDAP server.

For instructions, see Setting up message flow security and Message flow security in the IBM Integration Bus documentation.
