Add Authentication data for JDBC

Before creating JDBC datasources, you must define the authentication information for the JDBC connections.

You must create two sets of authentication data: one for the ALBPM Directory Database and one for ALBPM Engine's backend database.
  1. Login to WebSphere's Administration Console. By default, it runs on http://host:9060/ibm/console.
  2. Go to Security > Secure administration, applications and infrastructure, expand the Java Authentication and Authorization Service section on the right pane and click on J2C authentication data.
  3. Click New to create a new entry for ALBPM Directory database.

    Enter the following fields:

    Option Value
    Alias ALBPM Directory DB Auth
    User ID The JDBC user id to access ALBPM Directory Database.
    Password The password for the above user to access ALBPM Directory Database.

    You must enter the same user id and password you specified when creating the ALBPM Directory database using the Configuration Wizard.

  4. Click OK to save.
  5. Click New to create a new entry for ALBPM Engine database.

    Enter the following fields:

    Option Description
    Alias ALBPM Engine DB Auth
    User ID The JDBC user id to access ALBPM Engine Database.
    Password The password for the above user to access ALBPM Engine Database.

    You must enter the same user id and password you specified when creating the ALBPM Engine database using the Configuration Wizard.

  6. Click OK to save.
  7. Click on Save to persist your WebSphere configuration changes.
The new J2C authentication data entries are ready to be used from a JDBC Datasource configuration.
