NAME
asadmin-create-connector-security-map, create-connector-security-map - creates a security map for the named connector connection pool SYNOPSIS
create-connector-security-map --user admin_user [--password admin_password] [--host localhost] [--port 4848] [--secure|-s] [--passwordfile filename] [--terse=false] [--echo=false] [--interactive=true] --poolname connector_connection_pool_name --principals principal-name[, prin- cipal-name]*|--usergroups user-group[, user-group]* --mappedusername user_name [--mappedpassword password] mapname Creates a security map for the named connector connection pool. If the security map is not present, one is created. You must have first created a connector connection pool using the create-connector-connection-pool command. The enterprise information system is any system which holds the information. It can be a mainframe, a messaging system, a database system, or even an application. The --principals option and --usergroups option are mutually exclusive; only one should be used. This command is supported in remote mode only. OPTIONS
--user authorized domain application server administrative username. --password password to administer the domain application server. --host machine name where the domain application server is running. --port port number of the domain application server listening for administration requests. --secure if true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the domain application server. --passwordfile file containing the domain application server password. --terse indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well- formatted data for consumption by a script. Default is false. --echo setting to true will echo the command line statement on the standard output. Default is false. --interactive if set to true (default), only the required password options are prompted. --poolname connector connection pool name. --principals a comma separated list of J2EE principals. --usergroups a comma separated list of J2EE usergroups. --mappedusername the enterprise information system username. --mappedpassword the enterprise information system password. OPERANDS
mapname name of the security map to be created. Example 1: Using create-connector-security-map It is assumed that the connector pool has already been created using the create-connector-pool command. asadmin> create-connector-security-map --user admin --password adminadmin poolname connector-pool1 --principals principal1,principal2 --usergroups usergroup1,usergroup2 --mappedusername backend-username --mappedpassword backend-password securityMap1 Command create-connector-security-map executed successfully EXIT STATUS
