  5. Give the J2C alias a name and define the username and password. Select OK.
  6. Select Save.

 

In this example, a J2C alias named mySQL is created.

 

On the WebSphere server, the J2C aliases you've created will be in the ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/profiles/dmgr_profile/config/cells/your_cell/security.xml file. The security.xml file will contain something like this.

<authDataEntries 
  xmi:id="JAASAuthData_1478117720103"
  alias="john.doe"
  userId="john.doe"
  password="{xor}OttvApas44jkrAa="
  description="J2C alias for john.doe"
/>
