You can use the administrative console to bind the resource
manager connection factory references to one of the configured resource
factories.
Before you begin
Before you can map the resource manager connection factory
references to a configured resource factory, your enterprise application
must contain configured resource references. You must use an assembly
tool, such as Rational Application Developer, to assemble the application
before deploying it through the administrative console.
Important: If your application does not contain resource references,
the Resource references link does not display in the administrative
console.
For more information on resource references, see
the following topics:
- Creating or changing a resource reference
- Resource reference benefits
About this task
If the value of the res-auth element
is Container within the deployment descriptor for your application,
then you must specify the mapping configuration.
Procedure
- Click Applications > Enterprise applications
> application_name.
- From Resources, select Resource references.
- Select the application module and specify an authentication
method for the selected connection factory reference binding. Select
either Use default method, Use custom login configuration or Use
trusted connections. If you select the Use default method option,
the DefaultPrincipalMapping login configuration is selected. If you
select the Use trusted connections option, then the TrustedConnectionMapping
login configuration is selected. You must select an authentication
data alias from the list.
- After you make a selection, click Apply for the
configuration to take effect.
- If you select the Use trusted connection option,
then you must select an authentication data alias from the menu list.
The alias that is specified is what the application server uses to
get the initial trusted connection.
- Click Apply. The selected login configuration name
and an Mapping properties button is displayed in the Login
configuration field of the particular connection factory reference
binding.
- Click Mapping properties > New to specify the properties
for your configuration. Click OK after specifying the properties
on the Mapping properties panel.
- If you select the Use trusted connection option,
then you must select an authentication data alias from the menu list.
- Click Apply. The Mapping properties button
is displayed in the login configuration field of the particular connection
factory reference binding.
- Click Mapping properties to modify the properties
of the trusted connection. See the topic, Setting the security
properties for trusted connections, for information on tuning the
mapping properties for the trusted connection.
- Click OK and Save on the Resource references
panel to save your changes to the master configuration.
