Configuring a DB2 data source
To enable JBoss to communicate with a DB2 database that stores LiveCycle data, you must create a DB2
data source on JBoss and deploy it to the instance of JBoss that hosts LiveCycle Policy Server.
➤
To create the data source file:
1. Create an XML file using the following code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<datasources>
<local-tx-datasource>
<jndi-name>EDC_DS</jndi-name>
<connection-url>
jdbc:db2://
<server_name>
:
<port>
/
<database_name>
</connection-url>
<driver-class>com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver
</driver-class>
<user-name>
adobe
</user-name>
<password>
adobe
</password>
<SelectMethod>Cursor</SelectMethod>
<min-pool-size>1</min-pool-size>
<max-pool-size>100</max-pool-size>
<blocking-timeout-millis>20000</blocking-timeout-millis>
<idle-timeout-minutes>10</idle-timeout-minutes>
</local-tx-datasource>
</datasources>
2. Replace the bold text for the following elements with values that are specific to your LiveCycle
database:
●
<connection-url>
describes the server name (the name of the computer that hosts DB2) and
port number, and the database name. The application server uses the URL to connect to the
database.
●
<user-name>
and
<password>
are the user name and password that the application server uses
to access the database. These values are set when you create the database. (See
“Creating a DB2
database” on page 38
.)
3. Save the file as adobe-ds.xml in the
[appserver root]
/server/all/deploy directory.
4. Restart JBoss.
Configuring security
This applies to LiveCycle Policy Server only.
Administrators and users must be authenticated to access LiveCycle Policy Server features.
LiveCycle Policy Server supports form-based authentication and basic authentication, by default
forms-based JAAS authentication is used.
To implement basic authentication, you use the LiveCycle Policy Server SDK to integrate a custom
authentication service provider. For more information, see the LiveCycle Policy Server
Developing Custom
Applications
guide or contact Adobe Customer Support.
Note:
LDAP exchanges information in clear text. You should configure JBoss to send authentication
information over an SSL connection. (See
“Configuring SSL on JBoss” on page 65
.)
