UDDI registry security and UDDI registry settings
In addition to the configuration of UDDI registry security, other UDDI registry settings can affect the security of the UDDI registry.
Some UDDI property and policy settings can affect the security of a UDDI registry. Other UDDI settings are not specific to security, but can place restrictions on the successful completion of publish requests.
Security settings
UDDI registry interfaces are protected, as detailed in Access control for UDDI registry interfaces.
The UDDI registry supports the use of XML Digital Signatures to sign UDDI entities. See the topic about digital signatures and the UDDI registry.
Some UDDI property and policy settings can affect the security of a UDDI registry.
To review or change the following property settings, click UDDI > UDDI Nodes > uddi_node_name.
Key space requests require digital signature
Whether all tModel:keyGenerator requests for key space must be digitally signed. To understand key space, see the topic about UDDI registry v3 entity keys.
Use authInfo credentials if provided
Specifies that the UDDI registry uses the UDDI v3 security features. This setting applies only when WAS security is disabled. See Configure UDDI Security with WAS security disabled.
Authentication token expiry period
Length of idle time (in minutes) allowed before an authentication token is no longer valid.
Default user name
Name to use for publish operations when WAS security is disabled and no authentication token data is supplied. To review or change the following policy settings, click UDDI > UDDI Nodes > uddi_node_name > [Policy Groups] API policies.
Authorization for inquiry
Whether authorization that uses authentication tokens is required for inquiry API requests.
Authorization for publish
Whether authorization that uses authentication tokens is required for publish API requests.
Authorization for custody transfer
Whether authorization that uses authentication tokens is required for custody transfer API requests. These policy settings apply when UDDI security features are used and WAS security is enabled. If the UDDI service is mapped to the AllAuthenticatedUsers security role, these settings are overridden. See Configure UDDI Security with WAS security enabled.
Additional settings
The publish-related actions that a registered UDDI publisher can undertake are defined by their entitlements, as described in UDDI registry user entitlements.
Some UDDI property and keying policy settings influence publish behavior. These settings are not specific to security, but consider them because they place restrictions on the successful completion of publish requests.
To review or change the following property settings, click UDDI > UDDI Nodes > uddi_node_name .
Automatically register UDDI publishers
Specifies that the UDDI registry requires that publisher entitlements are set before allowing any publish requests. This option automatically registers users with default entitlements. If you do not select this option, you can register users as UDDI publishers, and specify their entitlements, by using the UDDI publisher settings.
Use tier limits
Specifies that publication tier limits are enforced. If you select this option, one or more tiers must be configured by using the UDDI Tier settings. Also, ensure that registered UDDI Publishers are assigned to a tier by using the UDDI publisher settings.
To review or change the following property setting, click UDDI > UDDI Nodes > uddi_node_name > [Policy Groups] Keying policies.
Registry key generation
Specifies that publishers can request key space and, if successful, publish with publisher-assigned keys.
