Configure new Java 2 Connector authentication data entries using scripting

 

You can configure new Java 2 Connector (J2C) authentication data entries with the wsadmin tool and scripting. Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the Start the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

 

Overview

Perform the following steps to configure a new J2C authentication data entry:

 

Procedure

1. Identify the parent ID:

   Use Jacl:

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

   • Use Jython:

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

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell|security.xml#Security_1)
   

2. Get required attributes:

   Use Jacl:

   $AdminConfig required JAASAuthData
   

   • Use Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('JAASAuthData')
     

   Example output:

   Attribute       Type alias           String userId          String password        String
   

3. Set up required attributes:

   Use 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}
   

   • Use 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:

   Use Jacl:

   $AdminConfig create JAASAuthData $security $jaasAttrs
   

   • Use Jython:

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

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell|security.xml#JAASAuthData_2)
   

5. Save the configuration changes. See the Saving configuration changes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.

6. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the Synchronizing nodes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.
