AuthenticationMechanism

This type is a class for model objects.

The element authentication-mechanism specifies an authentication mechanism supported by the resource adapter. Note that this support is for the resource adapter and not for the underlying EIS instance. The optional description specifies any resource adapter specific requirement for the support of security contract and authentication mechanism. Note that BasicPassword mechanism type should support the javax.resource.spi.security.PasswordCredential interface. The Kerbv5 mechanism type should support the javax.resource.spi.security.GenericCredential interface.

Attributes Summary
description : EString	@version J2EE1.4 deprecated, becomes descriptions
authenticationMechanism : EString	* No description is available *
authenticationMechanismType : AuthenticationMechanismType	@deprecated See authenticationMechanism The authentication-mechanism-type specifies type of an authentication mechanism. The example values are: - BasicPassword - Kerbv5 Any additional security mechanisms are outside the scope of the Connector architecture specification.
credentialInterface : EString	Specifies the interface that the resource adapter implementation supports for the representation of the credentials. This element should be used by application server to find out the Credential interface it should use as part of the security contract. The possible values are: javax.resource.spi.security.PasswordCredential javax.resource.spi.security.GenericCredential
customAuthMechType : EString	@deprecated This is an internal variable used to store the AthenticationMechanismType when it is something other than BasicPassword or Kerbv5. AuthenticationMecanismType is set to 'Custom' in those cases. This attribute should not be used by runtime. It is only used by the writer to write back out the custom AuthenticationMechanismType string in the case of custom AuthenticationMechanismType's. This variable is internal, used only by the reader/writer classes, and can change or disappear without notice.
