To allow users to invoke the services from the WmOptimize package using their credentials, you must set up the Central Users feature. If you do not configure the Central Users feature, you must ensure that each Optimize user defined in My webMethods has a corresponding user account defined in the Integration Server. After you enable and configure the Central Users feature, to complete the setup for Optimize, you must add Optimize to the group of allowed users.

When a user issues an Optimize request, an internal service in the WmOptimize package on the Integration Server is invoked to handle that request. The service is invoked using the credentials (that is, the user name and password) of the requesting user. As a result, the Integration Server must authenticate the user who issued the Optimize request. The user must be a member of the OptimizeUsers group. Note that the Optimize ACL and the OptimizeUsers group are automatically created when the WmOptimize package is loaded in the Integration Server.

To use the Central Users feature, you must enable and configure it from the Integration Server Administrator.

For instructions about how to enable and configure the Central Users Management feature, and how to manage users and groups, see webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide.
