Configure new J2CAuthentication data entries using scripting

Before starting this task, the wsadmin tool must be running. See the Starting the wsadmin scripting client article for more information.

Perform the following steps to configure a new J2CAuthentication data entry:

1. Identify the parent ID:

   • Using Jacl:

     set security [$AdminConfig getid /Cell:mycell/Security:/]

   • Using Jython:

     security = AdminConfig.getid('/Cell:mycell/Security:/')
     print security

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell|security.xml#Security_1)

2. Get required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig required JAASAuthData

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.required('JAASAuthData')

   Example output:

   Attribute       Type alias           String userId          String password        String

3. Set up required attributes:

   • Using Jacl:

     set alias [list alias myAlias]
     set userid [list userId myid]
     set password [list password secret]
     set jaasAttrs [list $alias $userid $password]

     Example output:

     {alias myAlias} {userId myid} {password secret}

   • Using Jython:

     alias = ['alias', 'myAlias']
     userid = ['userId', 'myid']
     password = ['password', 'secret']
     jaasAttrs = [alias, userid, password]
     print jaasAttrs

     Example output:

     [['alias', 'myAlias'], ['userId', 'myid'], ['password', 'secret']]

4. Create JAAS auth data:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig create JAASAuthData $security $jaasAttrs

   • Using Jython:

     print AdminConfig.create('JAASAuthData', security, jaasAttrs)

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell|security.xml#JAASAuthData_2)

5. Save the configuration changes. See the Saving configuration changes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.

6. In a network deployment environment only, synchronize the node. See the Synchronizing nodes with the wsadmin tool article for more information.
