Configuring the JDBC Adapter
Securing the JDBC Adapter
Schedulers are those users who will define or manage JDBC jobs and events. There are three aspects of a user 
profile that grant or limit access to scheduling jobs that interact with JDBC:
Security policy that grants or denies add, edit, delete, and view capabilities for JDBC jobs and events.
Authorized runtime user list that grants or denies access to specific database user accounts for use with 
database connections to run SQL commands, scripts, and stored procedures.
Authorized agent list that grants or denies access to specific JDBC adapter connections for use when defining 
JDBC jobs and events.
Defining Runtime Users (Database Users)
To define a database runtime user to run JDBC SQL jobs and monitor events:
1.
From the 
Navigator
 pane, select 
Administration>Runtime Users
 to display the defined users in the 
Users
 
pane.
2.
Right-click and select 
Add Runtime Users 
from the context menu, or select an existing user and choose 
Edit
 to 
display the 
User Definition
 dialog.
3.
If this is a new user definition, enter the new user name in the 
User/Group Name
 field.
4.
For documentation, enter the 
Full Name
 or description associated with this user.

Only those users with a password specified for JDBC will be available for use with JDBC jobs and events. The 
password may be the same as the one specified for Windows/FTP jobs.

OK
 on the 
Change Password
 dialog.
The
