Adding JNDI Providers

You add and configure a JNDI Provider resource and make it available in ALSB as a system resource. You must be in an active session.

  1. If you have not already done so, click Create to create a new session or click Edit to enter an existing session. See Using the Change Center.
  2. Select System Administration > JNDI Providers.
  3. Click Add.
  4. In the Name field, enter a name for the JNDI Provider resource. This is a required field.
  5. In the Description field, enter a short description for the JNDI Provider.
  6. Keep the JNDI Cache option Enabled (default) or select Disabled.
  7. When enabled, the JNDI context and JNDI objects are cached locally which improves performance when doing an object lookup. BEA recommends that you keep the JNDI cache enabled.

  8. In the Provider URL field, enter the URL for the JNDI Provider in the format: protocol://host:port
  9. You can use any protocol, for example, http, https, t3, t3s, iiop, iiops.

    This is a required field.

  10. In the case of clusters, the JNDI Provider URL should be configured with a comma-separated list of Managed Servers, in the format:
  11. protocol://<hostname>:<ms1port>, <hostname>:<ms2port>

  12. If access to the target JNDI Provider requires a user name and password, enter a user name in the User Name field, and the associated password in the Password and Confirm Password fields.
  13. These fields are optional, and required only if the JNDI tree is secured.

  14. Click Save to create and save the JNDI Provider resource in the current session.
  15. To end the session and deploy the configuration to the run time, click Activate under Change Center.
