This chapter of the manual is meant for security administrators who are fully aware of the operational requirements for their security environment, including the interfaces to the security packages in use at their sites.
TIBCO Object Service Broker uses external security to control access to the Data Object Broker. This includes the use of the S6BTLADM/hrntladm (Administration Menu) utility, some operator commands, and some utilities. Refer to
, Defining Data Object Broker Access for more information.
Your TIBCO Object Service Broker system can also be set up to use external security to verify user ID login. This security is in effect at your Execution Environment and session level. Refer to
Defining User Validation for more information.
In TIBCO Object Service Broker, you can set up your processing environment to pass control from TIBCO Object Service Broker security to the native security for your operating environment or an external security provider of your choice. As described in
Chapter 2, Security Clearances, setting the SECURITY Execution Environment parameter to EXTERNAL initiates external security processing. If the parameter is set to MIXED, first TIBCO Object Service Broker security is checked and then, if the access does not pass validation, external security processing is initiated.
The default implementation supplied with TIBCO Object Service Broker is SECURITY=INTERNAL. This means that only TIBCO Object Service Broker security is used for user ID login verification.
If SECURITY=EXTERNAL is specified, no additional security is required when a user accesses peer TIBCO Object Service Broker nodes. Both sites do not have to be using the same external security package. If a login is successful at a local node with external security enabled, it is successful at a remote node that has external security enabled.
