Enabling Agent & Integration Servers to work with Global Security

Resolving The Problem

1. In the Agents classpath ensure that the appropriate properties folder is included
%WAS_HOME%\AppServer\properties
or
%WAS_HOME%\AppServer\profiles\<PROFILE_NAME>\properties. (in 6.0 if a profile is specified)
or
%WAS_CLIENT_HOME%\AppServer\properties (if using a AppClient and not a full AppServer installed on the boxes)
.

2. Modify the SAS properties (sas.client.props) file from the WebSphere installation to contain the username and
password to be used for authentication to the WebSphere (corbaloc based) JNDI. The file is located in the
%WAS_HOME%\AppServer\properties ( In %WAS_HOME%\AppServer\profiles\<PROFILE_NAME>\properties in 6.0)

The relevant parameters that are to be modified are -
com.ibm.CORBA.loginSource=properties (default is prompt which means you have to key in the passwd each time you startup an agent)
com.ibm.CORBA.securityEnabled=true
com.ibm.CORBA.loginUserid=<jndis ecurityuser>
com.ibm.CORBA.loginPassword=<jndisecuritypasswd>

3. Specify the following java parameter to the agent startup command to leverage this file
-Dcom.ibm.CORBA.ConfigURL=%WAS_HOME%/AppServer/properties/sas.client.pro ps.

Now, agents should work correctly and startup without errors and register on the WAS JNDI.
The following is not used/required by Yantra agents on WAS but recommended (primarily for WLS)

4. If using the App Client,
a. additionally source the following setyup files in
. ${WAS_CLIENT_HOME}/bin/setupClient.sh
. ${WAS_CLIENT_HOME}/bin/setupCmdLine.sh

b. set the CLIENT_OPT variable as
export CLIENT_OPT=-Djava.ext.dirs=${WAS_EXT_DIRS}:${WAS_CLIENT_HOME}/plugins:${WAS_CLIE NT_HOME}/java/jre/lib/ext:${WAS_CLIENT_HOME}/java/jre/lib

c. Pass that to the startup java command line as
${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java ${CLIENT_OPT} -D....

5. In the agents' management.propeties, uncomment and set the following -
yfsjndi.jmx.java.naming.security.principal=<jndisecurityuser>
yfsjndi.jm x.java.naming.security.credentials=<jndisecuritypasswd>
