Creating a J2C authentication alias

If you want to specify a J2C authentication alias when you use the enterprise service discovery wizard to generate an import, you must first create an alias in the WebSphere administrative console of your server. J2C authentication aliases adhere to the Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) specification, which is a standard way of establishing security in an SCA EIS service.

To create a J2C authentication alias:

  1. In the Business Integration perspective, open the Servers view and start your WebSphere Process Server server.
  2. Right-click the server and select Run administrative console. The Login page of the administrative console opens.
  3. In the left frame, expand Security and click the Global security link. The Global Security page opens.
  4. Under the Authentication section of the Global Security page, expand JAAS Configuration and click the J2C authentication data link. The J2C Authentication Entries page opens.
  5. Click New. The New dialog box opens.
  6. In the Alias field, type psoftAlias. It is important to note that the name that you specify in the Alias field is actually saved in the format nodeName/aliasName. For example, if you specify the name psoftAlias in the Alias field, it would be saved as widNode/psoftAlias and this would be the value that you would need to specify if you are asked to provide a J2C authentication data entry.
  7. In the User ID and Password fields, specify the same user ID and password that you use to connect to the EIS system that is running on your PeopleSoft server.
  8. In the Description field, type J2C authentication alias for access to the PeopleSoft server.
  9. Click OK. The new alias is displayed in the J2C Authentication Entries page.
  10. Click the Save link and then click the Save button.
  11. Log out of the administrative console and then close it.
  12. Restart the server to pick up your changes.
