The property file authenticate.properties stores defaults for authorizing users when a Web application uses the ArcIMS Java Connector. This fie is included with each Java Web application in the <java Web application directory/WEB-INF/classes directory.

This file defines the following properties.

debug=False

Set to True if you want additional debug information to be logged to the servlet engine's stdout file. This file may be a log file or a console window.

authenticate=False

Set to True if you want to enable authentication of requests processed by the ArcIMS Java Connector. Authentication allows you to restrict access to ArcIMS services.

aclFileName=

Specifies the path and filename to the Access Control List (ACL) XML file. For more information, see Enabling authentication with a file-based ACL.

Only forward slashes can be used in the path.

Windows: aclFileName=/servlets/aimsacl.xml UNIX and Linux: aclFileName=/servlets/aimsacl.xml

A sample ACL file is located in the /ArcIMS/Documentation directory and is called sample_aimsacl.xml.

useJdbc=

True or False. Only used when authenticate=True. Enables a JDBC-accessible database to store authentication privileges. Note: If you set the properties for both XML file-based and JDBC-based ACL, the JDBC settings will be used. For more information, see Enabling authentication with a jdbc-based ACL.

jdbcDriver=

Name of the JDBC driver to be used. The location of the drivers must be part of the servlet engine's classpath setting. Only used when authenticate=True and useJdbc=True.

jdbcDriver=zyh.sql.dbf.DBFDriver

jdbcUrl=

JDBC database URL to the database that contains permissions and users table. Only used when authenticate=True and useJdbc=True.

jdbcUrl=jdbc:<database>:@<machine>.<domain>.<organization> jdbcUrl=jdbc:oracle:oci8:@s2315.mymachine.com jdbcUrl=jdbc:DBF:/C:/arcims/middleware/secureesrimap jdbcUrl=jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://servername:1433 jdbcUrl=jdbc:odbc:access_acl

jdbcUser=

Authentication database's user name. Only used when authenticate=True and useJdbc=True.

jdbcUser=user1

jdbcPassword=

Specifies the authentication database's password. Only used when authenticate=True and useJdbc=True.

dbcPassword=password1

jdbcPermTable=

Name of the authentication database's permissions table. The permissions table stores all of the individual authentication rules for each service. Only used when authenticate=True and useJdbc=True.

jdbcUserTable=

Specifies the name of the table in the database that lists the valid usernames and passwords. Only used when authenticate=True and useJdbc=True.

jdbcUidColumn=

Name of the userid column found in both the permissions and users tables. The userid column is the unique identifier between the users and permissions tables. Only used when authenticate=True and useJdbc=True.
