● WebSphere DataPower Caching Appliance XC10 – This appliance incorporates a large,
240 GB cache into the DataPower line of appliances from IBM, and adds elastic caching
functions that enable your business-critical applications to scale cost effectively with
consistent performance.
1.6 Access Control
There are three administrative interfaces for configuring WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances:
● Command line interface
● Web-based graphical interface
● SOAP-based XML management interface
Through the various administrative interfaces, it is possible to access the entire range of configuration
and status data. Access to the various administrative interfaces is tightly controlled through a variety of
access control methods.
● Access control list. Only hosts with addresses in a listed range can access the
appliance.
● Accounts, groups, and access policies. Local accounts can be created to gain access
to the appliance. Groups facilitate an easy way of managing multiple accounts with similar
access rights. Group access rights are defined using an access policy.
● Role-based Management. Extends local access control to use remote authentication and
authorization servers, such as LDAP or RADIUS.
1.7 Application Domains
Application domains allow administrators to partition an appliance into multiple logical configurations. For
example, in a production environment, a domain may represent a business area like shipping or
accounting. In a development environment, each developer may have their own domain for testing.
Configurations that are created in one domain are secure from other domains and are not visible.
By default, a newly initialized WebSphere DataPower appliance will have a single domain named
default. The default domain should only be used for managing the network configuration and the
appliance itself.
Application domains allow for easier porting of development domain configurations among appliances
without affecting the core network for the appliance. A domain can easily be exported from one appliance
and imported into another.
1.8 The WebSphere DataPower WebGUI
The PoT leader will assign a unique student number to you. Your user ID and application domain is
based on your assigned number.
● Your User Name is studentNN where NN is your student number. If your student number
is 2, then your user name would be student02.
● Your password is: password
● Your assigned application domain is the same as your user ID.
