How Is Security Handled In The Weblogic J2ee Connector Architecture? |
|
Answer» Due to the fact that the current CONFIGURATION and packaging requirements for resource adapters in WebLogic Server REQUIRE the hand-editing of the weblogic-ra.xml file, any new passwords specified in the security-principal-map entries are done in clear-text. BEA understands the IMPORTANCE of protecting security passwords. Hence, we provide a Converter Tool that allows for the ENCRYPTION of all passwords present in the weblogic-ra.xml file. The Converter Tool is shipped in the STANDARD weblogic.jar file.
