CMP connection factory settings
Use this page to view the settings of a connection factory used by a container-managed persistence (CMP) bean to access any database server. Because the connection factory is created and managed automatically, the settings of the connection factory cannot be modified. To view this console page:
- Click Resources > Resource Adapters > Resource adapters.
- Click Preferences, select Show built-in resources and click Apply.
- Click WebSphere Relational Resource Adapter > CMP Connection Factories > connection_factory.

Description

Category
Specifies a category string which can be used to classify or group the resource.
Authentication preference
Specifies which of the authentication mechanisms defined for the corresponding resource adapter applies to this connection factory. This property is deprecated starting with version 6.0.
For example, if two authentication mechanism entries are defined for a resource adapter (KerbV5 and Basic Password), this specifies one of those two types. If the authentication mechanism preference specified is not an authentication mechanism available on the corresponding resource adapter, it is ignored.
