Configuring new Java 2 Connector authentication data entries using wsadmin

You can configure new Java™ 2 Connector (J2C) authentication data entries with the wsadmin scripting tool.

1. Identify the parent ID:

   • Using Jacl:

     set security [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Security:/]

   • Using Jython:

     security = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Security:/')
     print security

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell|security.xml#Security_1)

2. Get required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required JAASAuthData

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('JAASAuthData')

   Example output:

   Attribute       Type
   alias           String
   userId          String
   password        String

3. Set up required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     set alias [list alias myAlias]
     set userid [list userId myid]
     set password [list password secret]
     set jaasAttrs [list $alias $userid $password]

     Example output:

     {alias myAlias} {userId myid} {password secret}

   • Using Jython:

     alias = ['alias', 'myAlias']
     userid = ['userId', 'myid']
     password = ['password', 'secret']
     jaasAttrs = [alias, userid, password]
     print jaasAttrs

     Example output:

     [['alias', 'myAlias'], ['userId', 'myid'], ['password', 'secret']]

4. Create JAAS auth data:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig create JAASAuthData $security $jaasAttrs

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.create('JAASAuthData', security, jaasAttrs)

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell|security.xml#JAASAuthData_2)

5. Save the configuration changes. See the topic Saving configuration changes with the wsadmin tool for more information.
6. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the topic Synchronizing nodes with the wsadmin tool for more information.
