Configure new J2C authentication 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 J2C authentication data entry:

1. Identify the parent ID and assign it to the security variable.

   • Using Jacl:

     set security [$AdminConfig getid /Security:mysecurity/]

   • Using Jython:

     security = AdminConfig.getid('/Security:mysecurity/')

2. Identify the 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 the 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]

     Example output:

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

4. Create JAAS authentication data:

   • Using Jacl:

     $AdminConfig create JAASAuthData $security $jaasAttrs

   • Using Jython:

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

   Example output:

   (cells/mycell/nodes/mynode|resources.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.
