Java 2 Connector authentication data entry settings

Use this page as a central place for administrators to define authentication data, which includes user identities and passwords. These values can reference authentication data entries by resource adapters, data sources, and other configurations that require authentication data using an alias. You can display this page directly from the Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) configuration page or from other pages for resources that use J2EE Connector (J2C) authentication data entries. To view this administrative page, complete the following steps:

1. Click Security > Global security.

2. Under Authentication, click JAAS configuration > J2C authentication data.

Deleting authentication data entries: Be careful when deleting authentication data entries. If the deleted authentication data is used by other configurations, the initializing resources process fails.

Define a new authentication data entry by clicking New.
