Use to switch the user authentication mode for a Master Repository.
Switching the authentication mode of the Oracle Data Integrator Master Repository changes the way users authenticate. This operation must be performed by a Supervisor user.
WARNING:
When switching from an external to internal authentication, user passwords are not copied from the identity store to the repository. The passwords are nullified. All the user accounts are marked as expired and must be reactivated by a SUPERVISOR that is created during the switch.
When switching from internal to external authentication, the users who exist in the repository and match a user in the identity store are automatically mapped. Users who do not match a user in the identity store are disabled. A Supervisor must edit the users so that their name has a match in the identity store.
Before launching the Switch Authentication Mode wizard perform the following tasks:
Disconnect Oracle Data Integrator Studio from the repository.
Shut down every component using the Oracle Data Integrator repository.
The Switch Authentication Mode wizard has the following steps:
Use to specify the JDBC connectivity details of your Oracle Data Integrator Master Repository as defined when connecting to the Master Repository.
| Properties | Description |
|---|---|
| Login | User ID/login of the owner of the tables you have created for the Master Repository. |
| JDBC Driver | Driver used to access the technology, which hosts the repository. |
| JDBC URL | Complete path for the data server to host the repository.
Note: The JDBC Driver and URL parameters are synchronized and the default values are technology dependent. |
| User | User ID/login of the owner of the tables. |
| Password | Password of the user. |
Click Next to move to the next step of the Switch Authentication Mode Wizard.
Use to review the changes that are made when switching the authentication mode.
The next action varies depending on the current Authentication Mode in use:
If currently using Internal Authentication, you are prompted to switch to external authentication.
If currently using External Authentication, you are prompted to switch to internal authentication. You must provide and confirm a password for the SUPERVISOR user that the wizard automatically creates in the repository.
Click Finish to complete the Switch Authentication Mode Wizard.
