- Java EE connector security
The Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) connector architecture defines a standard architecture for connecting J2EE to heterogeneous enterprise information systems (EIS). Examples of EIS include Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), mainframe transaction processing (TP) and database systems.- Enable trusted context for DB2 databases
Enable trusted context in the applications to improve how the application server interacts with DB2 database servers. Use trusted connections to preserve the identity records of clients that are connecting to a DB2 database through the applications; trusted connections can provide a more secure environment by granting access based on the identity of those users.- Configure the application server and DB2 to authenticate with Kerberos
The Kerberos authentication mechanism may be used when both WebSphere Application Server and the DB2 server are configured for Kerberos authentication. Kerberos authentication can provide single sign on (SSO) end-to-end interoperable solutions and preserves the original requester identity.
