Component properties: Run-As Mode

This tab applies to EJB 1.0 components only. These properties specify the user name and password that are used when methods call other EAServer components installed in the same server or server cluster. The setting in the Component Properties dialog box is the default for all methods in the component. You can override the component level setting for individual methods (see “Method properties”).

The choices for Run As Mode are:

Value

Description

Client

Use the client’s user name and password. This is the default setting.

System

Use the system user name and password. The system account effectively belongs to any role, and can execute any method on any component that is installed in the same server or cluster.

Specified

Use the user name and password associated with the identity name specified in the Run-as Identity column.

When Run-As Mode is set to Specified, you must enter a logical entity name, then map the logical identity name to an identity that is defined in the EAServer Manager identities folder. If there are no identities defined, you must close the Component Properties dialog, go to the Identities folder, and create at least one identity to map logical identities to. For more information, see “Configuring identities” in the EAServer Security Programming and Administration Guide.

Mappings specified in the Component Properties dialog are stored as package properties and apply to all other components in the package.
