Modifying authentication aliases

Existing authentication aliases are modified from the administrative console or by using the WebSphere command-line administration tool (wsadmin) AdminConfig commands.

From the administrative console.

1. Access the Business Integration Authentication Alias page.
   From the administrative console, click Security > Global Security > Java Authentication and Authorization Service > J2C authentication data.

   Note: You can also access this page from various administrative console pages that require authentication alias information.
   The authentication alias configuration page is displayed.

   This page contains a list of authentication aliases, the associated component, the user ID associated with this alias, and optionally a description of the alias.

2. Select the authentication alias that you want to modify by clicking its name in the Alias column.
   Note: In some cases, the Alias column might not provide a link, in which case you select the check box in the Select column corresponding to the alias that you want to edit.
3. Change the properties of the alias.

   On the authentication alias configuration page for the selected alias, you can modify either the alias name or the associated user ID and password. You can also modify the description of the authentication data entry.

4. Confirm your changes.
   Click either OK or Apply. Return to the Business Integration Authentication Alias page, and click Apply to apply your changes to the master configuration.

   Note: For a Network Deployment installation, make sure that a file synchronize operation is performed to propagate the changes to other nodes.
