Description

The create-connector-security-map subcommand creates a security map for the specified connector connection pool. If the security map is not present, a new one is created. This subcommand can also map the caller identity of the application (principal or user group) to a suitable enterprise information system (EIS) principal in container-managed authentication scenarios. The EIS is any system that holds the data of an organization. It can be a mainframe, a messaging system, a database system, or an application. One or more named security maps can be associated with a connector connection pool. The connector security map configuration supports the use of the wild card asterisk (*) to indicate all users or all user groups.

To specify the EIS password, you can add the AS_ADMIN_MAPPEDPASSWORD entry to the password file, then specify the file by using the --passwordfile asadmin utility option.

For this subcommand to succeed, you must have first created a connector connection pool using the create-connector-connection-pool subcommand.

This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.

Options

--help
-?: Displays the help text for the subcommand.
--poolname: Specifies the name of the connector connection pool to which the security map belongs.
--principals: Specifies a list of backend EIS principals. More than one principal can be specified using a comma-separated list. Use either the --principals or --usergroups options, but not both in the same command.
--usergroups: Specifies a list of backend EIS user group. More than one user groups can be specified using a comma separated list. Use either the --principals or --usergroups options, but not both in the same command.
--mappedusername: Specifies the EIS username.
--target: Do not specify this option. This option is retained for compatibility with earlier releases. If you specify this option, a syntax error does not occur. Instead, the subcommand runs successfully and displays a warning message that the option is ignored.

Operands

mapname: The name of the security map to be created.
