Shared Resources

Shared resources contain connection details for physical resources. Shared resources provide a way to use an identifier to reference the configuration of a resource, allowing multiple applications to use an instance of the shared resource without having to configure the resource multiple times.

The following shared resources can be configured in TIBCO BPM Enterprise:

  • HTTP Clients - These specify connection details for REST service activities in BPM applications.
  • SSL Client Providers - These maintain credentials needed by SSL Clients.
  • Keystore Providers - These specify details about a KeyStore, which can be used to establish a secure connection via SSL.
  • SMTP Connections - These are used by component implementations to send and receive messages to and from SMTP mail servers.
  • SAMLAuthentication - These are used for SAML Web Profile authentication, which allows users of your application to log in using a user name and password issued by an Identity Provider (IdP) that supports SAML Web Profile.
  • OpenID Authentication - These are used for OpenID Connect authentication, which allows users of your application to log in using a user name and password issued by an Identity Provider (IdP) that supports OpenID Connect.
