Administration Overview
With IBM InfoSphere Information Server, you can administer security, entitlements, clusters and high availability configurations, logs, schedules, and services, and back up data. Both the IBM InfoSphere Information Server console and the IBM InfoSphere Information Server Web console provide administration capabilities.
Security administration
As part of InfoSphere Information Server administration, you set up and manage suite security. Security administration includes the following tasks:
Configuring and administering the user registry
The user registry holds user account information, such as user names and passwords, that can be accessed during authentication. You choose a user registry for the suite to use. You can choose the internal InfoSphere Information Server user registry, or an external local operating system or lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) user registry. Depending on the registry you choose and the topology of your installation, you might also have to map credentials from one user registry to another.
Controlling access
You create user accounts and groups. You assign roles to users and groups to specify which features users can use and which projects a user can access. User roles can be defined at several levels that build on one another.
Auditing security-related events
Security-related events include all activities that set or modify security-related settings and all user authentications and application access attempts. You configure which events to log and how much information to include. You monitor and analyze the log information to help prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data.
Administering account passwords
You periodically change administrator account passwords to comply with your security policies.
Managing active user sessions
You view current active sessions, and manage session limits. If necessary, you can force one user or all users to disconnect.
