5.3.4: Specifying authentication options in sas.client.props

You can use the sas.client.props file to direct WebSphere Application Server to authenticate users by prompting or by using a user ID and password set in the properties file. The following steps describe the procedure:

  1. Locate the sas.client.props file. By default, it is located in the properties directory under the <product_installation_root> of your WebSphere Application Server installation.
  2. Edit the file to set up the desired authentication procedure:
    • To authenticate by prompting, set the loginSource property to the value "prompt":
      com.ibm.CORBA.loginSource=prompt
    • To authenticate by the values configured in the file, set the loginSource property to the value "properties" and set the desired values for the loginUserid and loginPassword properties:
      com.ibm.CORBA.loginSource=properties
      com.ibm.CORBA.loginUserid=<user_ID>
      com.ibm.CORBA.loginPassword=<password>
  3. Save the file.
