Authentication Parameters

After you import the driver, provide authentication information for the target database.


Authentication ID

An Authentication ID is the name of the driver's database user/login account. The installation SQL script for each database provides information on the database privileges required for this account to authenticate to a supported database. The scripts are located in the install-dir\tools\sql\abbreviated-database-name\install directory.

The default value for the sample configuration is idm.


Authentication Context

The authentication context is the JDBC URL of the target database.

URL format and content are proprietary. They differ between third-party JDBC drivers. However, they have some similarities in content. Each URL, whatever the format, usually includes an IP address or DNS name, port number, and a database identifier. For the exact syntax and the content requirements of your driver, consult your third-party driver documentation.

For a list of JDBC URL syntaxes for supported third-party drivers, see JDBC URL Syntaxes.

IMPORTANT:  Changing anything in this value other than URL properties will force a resync of all objects when triggerless publication is used.


Application Password

An application password is the password for the driver's database user/login account. The default value for the sample driver configuration is novell.
