Use this page to specify settings for a connection factory.
To view this administrative console page, click Resources > Resource Adapters > resource_adapter > J2C connection factories >J2C_connection_factory.
Specifies a list of connection factory display names.
This is a required property.
Data type | String |
Specifies the JNDI name of this connection factory.
For example, the name could be eis/myECIConnection.
After you set this value, save it and restart the server. You can see this string when you run the dumpNameSpace tool. This is a required property. If you do not specify a JNDI name, it is filled in by default using the Name field.
Data type | String |
Default | eis/display name |
Specifies a text description of this connection factory.
Data type | String |
Specifies the fully qualified name of the Connection Factory Interfaces supported by the resource adapter.
This is a required property. For new objects, the list of available classes is provided by the resource adapter in a drop-down list. After you create the connection factory, the field is a read only text field.
Data type | Drop-down list or text |
Specifies a string that you can use to classify or group this connection factory.
Data type | String |
Specifies authentication data for component-managed signon to the resource.
Choose from aliases defined under Security >JAAS Configuration > J2C Authentication Data.
Data type | List |
However, if clients such as servlets or enterprise beans run in WebSphere Application Server processes within the same cell, and can look up a resources in the JNDI namespace, these clients can obtain connections without explicitly providing authentication data on the getConnection() call. In this case, if the component’s res-auth setting is Application, authentication is taken from the component-managed authentication alias defined on the connection factory. With res-auth set to Container, authentication is taken from the login configuration defined on the component’s resource-reference. It is important to note that J2C authentication alias is per cell. An enterprise bean or servlet in one application server cannot look up a resource in another server process which is in a different cell, because the alias would not be resolved.
This optional field is used to specify the authentication alias that should be used during XA recovery processing.
If the resource adapter does not support XA transactions, then this field will not be displayed. The default value will come from the selected alias for application authentication (if specified).

Specifies authentication data (a string path converted to userid and password) for container-managed signon to the resource.
Choose from aliases defined under Security>JAAS Configuration> J2C Authentication Data.
Data type | Pick-list |
Specifies the authentication mechanisms defined for this connection factory.
This setting specifies which of the authentication mechanisms defined for the corresponding resource adapter applies to this connection factory. Common values, depending on the capabilities of the resource adapter, are: KERBEROS, BASIC_PASSWORD, and None.
Data type | Pick-list |
Default | BASIC_PASSWORD |
Specifies the authentication alias for the Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) mapping configuration that is used by this connection factory.
Click Security > JAAS Configuration > Application Logins Configuration and select an alias from the list.
The DefaultPrincipalMapping JAAS configuration maps the authentication alias to the userid and password. You may define and use other mapping configurations.
