Configuring data access security

Safeguard access to your enterprise data by designating credentials that WebSphere® Application Server uses to authenticate database connections.

Before you begin

Review the history and roles of the database tables in your environment; this information helps you determine the best approach for securing each table. You can either rely on the default authentication mechanism of a user profile, or override it by configuring a security scheme for the individual application component that requires access to the database. Generally, consider overriding the default profile security if your database tables were created prior to the Application Server installation, or if programs outside of Application Server also access the tables.

About this task

To authenticate database connections with user profile credentials, use an existing profile from any of three scopes in your application serving environment. Otherwise, consult the following Application component authentication table for methods of overriding user profile settings.
