Environment Variables for ActiveSpaces Security

You need to specify environment variables for the security policy and token files. These files contain all certificate-related information. The policy file contains the security settings for one or more security domains. The security token file is generated from a security policy file. The Metaspace Access List for the specified security domain is copied from the security policy file into the security token file. The security token file connects to the metaspace by a domain requestor.

Specify the following environment variables in the JVM parameters of the application server that is used to deploy TIBCO MDM. For example, for the JBoss WildFly application server, add environment variables in the standalone.xml file and for the WebSphere and WebLogic application servers, log in to the Administrative console and add the environment variables.

Environment Variable Value Description
AS_SECURITY_POLICY Refers to the path of a security policy file. Required if you have specified the default value, SECURITY_DOMAIN_CONTROLLER of the AS Security Domain node type property for the MDM node.
AS_SECURITY_TOKEN Refers to the path of a security token file. Required if you have specified the value, SECURITY_DOMAIN_REQUESTOR of the AS Security Domain node type property for the MDM node.
Note: For creating and validating the security policy and token files, refer to the chapter, " Administering ActiveSpaces with the Admin CLI" in TIBCO ActiveSpaces Administration.
