Map resource manager connection factory references to resource factories

We can use the dmgr console to bind the resource manager connection factory references to one of the configured resource factories.

Before we can map the resource manager connection factory references to a configured resource factory, your enterprise application must contain configured resource references. You must use an assembly tool, such as Rational Application Developer, to assemble the application before deploying it through the dmgr console.

If the application does not contain resource references, the Resource references link does not display in the dmgr console.

For more information on resource references, see the following topics:

• Creating or changing a resource reference
• Resource reference benefits

If the value of the res-auth element is Container within the deployment descriptor for the application, then specify the mapping configuration.

1. Click Applications > Enterprise applications > application_name.

2. From Resources, select Resource references.

3. Select the application module and specify an authentication method for the selected connection factory reference binding. Select either Use default method, Use custom login configuration or Use trusted connections. If you select the Use default method option, the DefaultPrincipalMapping login configuration is selected. If you select the Use trusted connections option, then the TrustedConnectionMapping login configuration is selected. Select an authentication data alias from the list.
4. After you make a selection, click Apply for the configuration to take effect.

5. If you select the Use trusted connection option, then select an authentication data alias from the menu list.

   The alias specified is what the application server uses to get the initial trusted connection.

6. Click Apply. The selected login configuration name and an Map properties button is displayed in the Login configuration field of the particular connection factory reference binding.

7. Click Map properties > New to specify the properties for the configuration. Click OK after specifying the properties on the Mapping properties panel.

8. If you select the Use trusted connection option, then select an authentication data alias from the menu list.

9. Click Apply. The Map properties button is displayed in the login configuration field of the particular connection factory reference binding.

10. Click Map properties to modify the properties of the trusted connection. See the topic, Setting the security properties for trusted connections, for information on tuning the mapping properties for the trusted connection.

11. Click OK and Save on the Resource references panel to save your changes to the master configuration.
