Authentication options for InfoSphere MDM Web Reports

There are several authentication options available during installation.

User authentication to the MDM database happens by enabling one of these options:

Set thejdbc.user and jdbc.password parameters in the webreports.properties file. For encrypted passwords, set the jdbc.password2 or jdbc.password3 parameters as appropriate.

For AES encryption (password3), add the following parameters in the webreports.properties file:

jdbc.password3 = <the database password encrypted with the madpwd3 utility>
jdbc.aeskeyfile = <the path to file containing an AES 128, 192 or 256-bit key>
jdbc.aesivfile = <the path to the file containing an AES initialization vector>
jdbc.aesprovider = <(optional) the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) provider>

Note: The jdbc.aesprovider property can contain a specific provider, such as SunJCE or IBMJCE, or none. If no provider is given, then providers are selected based on preference order in the java.security file located in $JAVA_HOME/lib/security, $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security or, for InfoSphere® MDM Web Reports, in webreports.properties.
