To create a security map

A security map for a connector connection pool maps application users and groups (principals) to EIS principals. Use a security map when an application user needs to execute EIS operations that require a specific identity in the EIS.

1. Expand the Resources node

2. Expand the Connectors node.

3. Select the Connector Connection Pools node.

4. Select a Connector Connection Pool by selecting its name from the list of current pools or create a new connector connection pool by selecting New from the list of current pools and following the instructions in To create a JDBC connection pool.

5. Select the Security Maps page.

6. Click New to create a new Security Map.

7. On the Create Security Map page, enter the following properties.

   • Name – Enter a name to be used to reference this particular security map.

   • User Groups – The caller identity of the application to be mapped to a suitable EIS principal. Enter a comma-separated list of application-specific user groups, or enter the wild card asterisk (*) to indicate all users or all user groups. Specify either the Principals or User Groups options, but not both.

   • Principals – The caller identity of the application to be mapped to a suitable EIS principal. Enter a comma-separated list of application-specific principals, or enter the wild card asterisk (*) to indicate all principals. Specify either the Principals or User Groups options, but not both.

8. In the Backend Principal section, enter the following properties.

   • Username – Enter the EIS user name. The enterprise information system (EIS) is any system that holds the information. It can be a mainframe, a messaging system, a database system, or an application.

   • Password – Enter the password for the EIS user.

9. Click OK to create the security map or Cancel to quit without saving.
