Java EE connector security
The Java 2 Platform,
Enterprise Edition (Java EE)
connector architecture defines a standard architecture for connecting
J2EE to heterogeneous enterprise information systems (EIS). Examples
of EIS include Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), mainframe transaction
processing (TP) and database systems.
Enabling trusted context for DB2 databases
Enable trusted context in your applications to improve
how the application server interacts with DB2® database
servers. Use trusted connections to preserve the identity records
of clients that are connecting to a DB2 database
through your applications; trusted connections can provide a more
secure environment by granting access based on the identity of those
users.
Configuring the application server and DB2 to authenticate with Kerberos
The Kerberos authentication mechanism may be used when
both WebSphere® Application Server and the
DB2 server are configured for Kerberos authentication. Kerberos authentication
can provide single sign on (SSO) end-to-end interoperable solutions
and preserves the original requester identity.
Configuring data access security
Safeguard access to your enterprise data by designating
credentials that WebSphere Application
Server uses to authenticate database connections.
Connection thread identity
The application server for z/OS® allows
you to assign a thread identifier as an owner of a connection,
when you first obtain the connection. The thread identity function
only applies to Java Platform, Enterprise Edition
(Java EE) Connector Architecture (JCA) resource
adapters and Relational Resource Adapter (RRA) wrappered Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) providers
that support the use of thread identity for connection ownership.
Using thread identity support
The thread identity function allows you to assign a thread
identifier as an owner of a connection when you first obtain the connection.
This function only applies to Java Platform,
Enterprise Edition (Java EE)
Connector Architecture (JCA) resource adapters and Relational Resource
Adapter (RRA) wrappered Java Database
Connectivity (JDBC) providers that support the use of thread identity
for connection ownership.
