– Enter the host name of the SQL Server installation.

6. Select the authentication alias that provides the user ID and password that are required to

access the database.This window allows you to select an already created authentication

value or create a new one. If you select an existing authentication alias, continue with the

next step. In Figure 10-9, the existing authentication alias,

sys2CellManager01/trade-app-alias, is selected.

The page provides the following options:

– Authentication alias for XA Recovery: This field is used to specify the authentication

alias that you must use during XA recovery processing. If this alias name is changed

after a server failure, the subsequent XA recovery processing uses the original setting

that was in effect before the failure. The database identity for the XA recovery

authentication alias on a data source must have authorization to do XA recovery. If the

resource adapter does not support XA transactions, this field does not display. The

default value for this field is derived from the selected alias for application

authentication, if one is specified.

– Component-managed authentication alias: This alias is used for database

authentication at run time. If the database is not secured, setting database

authentication is not required. This is not recommended for a production environment.

– Container-managed authentication alias: Specifies authentication data, which is a

JAAS - J2C authentication data entry, for container-managed sign-on to the resource.

Depending on the value that is selected for the Mapping-configuration alias setting, you

can disable this setting.

– Mapping-configuration alias: Specifies the authentication alias for the Java

Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) mapping configuration that is used by

this connection factory. The DefaultPrincipalMapping JAAS configuration maps the

authentication alias to the user ID and password.
