Select a J2C authentication alias
Use this page to select a Java™ 2 Connector (J2C) authentication alias for the resource that you are configuring. This page is available only when at least one security domain is defined and assigned a scope that is applicable to the resource that is being edited. Additionally, that security domain must contain at least one JAAS J2C Authentication alias. Security domains isolate J2C authentication aliases between servers.
The tree view is useful in determining the security domain to which an alias belongs, and the tree view can help you determine the servers that are able to access each authentication alias. The tree view is tailored for each resource, so domains and aliases are hidden when you cannot use them. For example, a cell-scoped security domain is hidden from the tree if all servers and clusters in the tree have defined their own security domain. If you are looking for an alias that is not visible in the tree, it is because the alias cannot be used by any servers that have visibility to this resource. In this case, you must define the alias at the global scope or in a different security domain that is visible to this resource.
