Map data sources for all 2.x CMP beans settings page

Use this page to map container-managed persistence 2.x beans of an application to data sources available to the application.

To view this dmgr console page, click Applications > Application Types > Websphere enterprise applications > application_name > Map data sources for all 2.x CMP beans.

Each table row corresponds to a CMP bean within a specific EJB module. A row shows the JNDI name of the data source mapping target of the bean only if you bound them together during application assembly. For every data source that is displayed, you see the corresponding security configuration.

Set Multiple JNDI names

Specify the JNDI name for multiple EJB modules. Select one or more EJB modules from the table, and select a JNDI name from this list to configure the EJB modules with that JNDI name.

Data type	Drop-down list

Set Authorization Type

Specify the authorization type for securing the data source. Select one or more EJB modules from the table to set the authorization type.

Select either Container or Application from the displayed list. Container-managed authorization indicates that WebSphere Application Server performs signon to the data source. Application-managed authorization indicates the enterprise bean code performs signon.

Modify Resource Authentication Method

Specify the authorization type and the authentication method for securing the data source. Select one or more EJB modules from the table to modify the resource authentication method.

Choose between the following authentication methods:

• None:

  1. Determine which data source configurations to designate with no authentication method.

  2. Select the appropriate table rows.

  3. Select None from the list of authentication method options that precede the table.

  4. Click Apply.

• Use default method (many-to-one mapping):

  1. Determine which data source configurations to designate with the WAS DefaultPrincipalMapping login configuration. Apply this option to each data source individually to designate different authentication data aliases. See the information center topic on J2EE Connector security for more information on the default mapping configuration.

  2. Select the appropriate table rows.

  3. Select Use default method (many-to-one mapping) from the list of authentication method options that precede the table.

  4. Select an authentication data entry or alias from the list.

  5. Click Apply.

• Use Kerberos authentication: Specifies to use the Kerberos authentication method.
  1. Ensure that we have configured the Kerberos authentication mechanism in the application server.

  2. Select the appropriate table row.

  3. Select Use Kerberos authentication from the list of authentication method options that precede the table.

  4. Select an application login configuration from the list.

  5. Click Apply.
  6. To edit the properties of the custom login configuration, click Map Properties in the table cell.

  The application server will attempt to verify that you are connecting to the correct type of database when we select this option.

• Use trusted connections (one-to-one mapping):

  1. Determine which data source configurations to designate with a custom Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) login configuration. See the information center topic on J2EE Connector security for more information on custom JAAS login configurations.

  2. Select the appropriate table row.
  3. Ensure the database to which the modules will connect is configured for trusted connections.

  4. Select Use trusted connections (one-to-one mapping) from the list of authentication method options that precede the table.

  5. Select an application login configuration from the list.

  6. Click Apply.

  The application server will attempt to verify that you are connecting to the correct type of database when we select this option.

• Custom login configuration:

  1. Determine which data source configurations to designate with a custom Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) login configuration. See the information center topic on J2EE Connector security for more information on custom JAAS login configurations.

  2. Select the appropriate table row.

  3. Select Use custom login configuration from the list of authentication method options that precede the table.

  4. Select an application login configuration from the list.

  5. Click Apply.
  6. To edit the properties of the custom login configuration, click Map Properties in the table cell.
