Creating Credential Mapping Files
Credential mapping files provide a way of setting an initial DBUSER and PASSWD parameter for individual users. Each file name is the name of a user. In the file for a specific user, enter one or more lines, where each line has the following format:
instance:dbuser:passwd
where:
instance specifies the name of an Info*Engine adapter.
dbuser specifies the username to be set in the DBUSER parameter of the webject.
passwd specifies the password that corresponds with the username. It is the value to be set in the PASSWD parameter of the webject.
The resulting file contains the usernames and passwords that can be used to access information systems.
The path to a directory containing credentials files can be configured using the wt.property of wt.federation.mapCredentials.files. If this property is not set, credentials mapping files are not used.
To activate credentials mapping through credentials mapping files, you must validate the request information by setting a secret in the task processor .secret.text or .secret.text2 property.
If both the wt.federation.mapCredentials.files and the wt.federation.task.mapCredentials properties are set, file-based mapping is performed first, then the credentials mapping task is executed. This allows some base or default mapping information to be specified using files then augmented or overridden by the task.
