# Simple JDBC Authentication

When you configure a TopLink database login with a user name and password ("Configuring User Name and Password"), TopLink provides these credentials to the JDBC driver that you configure your application to use (see "Configuring Database Login Connection Options").

By default, TopLink writes passwords to and reads them from the `sessions.xml` file in encrypted form using JCE encryption. Optionally, you can configure a different encryption class (see "Configuring Password Encryption").
