Resource Adapters: Security: Principals
This page allows you to view and configure the security principal settings for this resource adapter. In a WebLogic resource adapter, you can either have a single security identity that can perform all functions, or use separate identities for separate classes of functions. You can define the following four types of security identities in the
weblogic-ra.xml deployment descriptor:
- default principal: a security principal that can perform all resource adapter tasks
- run-as principal: a security principal used by calls from the connector container into the resource adapter code during connection requests.
- run-work-as principal: a security principal used for Work instances launched by the resource adapter.
- manage-as principal: a security principal used for resource adapter management tasks, such as startup, shutdown, testing, and transaction management.
You can define a single default principal for all tasks, or define one or more of the other security principals; any security identities for which you do not specify a principal will use the default principal.
