These administrative tasks consist primarily of configuring the objects, or resources, through which applications connect with a backend, and tuning those resources to handle the volume of connection requests.
Steps for this task
Container-managed authorization, which is designated as res-auth = Container, indicates that Application Server performs signon for backend connections. The container-managed authentication alias must be specified on the application resource reference. This task is typically done during application assembly; then the resource reference is mapped to a data source or connection factory resource during deployment. After deployment, however, you can alter the container-managed authentication alias using the administrative console. Click Applications > Enterprise Applications > application_name, and select the link to the appropriate mapping page. For example, if you want to alter the alias of an EJB module resource, you might click Map data sources for all 1.x CMP beans or Map data sources for all 2.x CMP beans. For a Web module resource, click Map resource references to resources.
Consult the J2EE connector security topic for detailed reference on resource authentication.
