Setting Up Access Control Lists

BEA WebLogic controls access to internal resources such as JDBC connection pools through Access Control Lists (ACLs) set up in the BEA WebLogic realm. Entries for ACLs in the WebLogic realm are listed as properties in the weblogic.properties file.

To set the "reserve" and "reset" permissions for JDBC connections in a connection pool, enter the appropriate property in the weblogic.properties file. Setting a permission on ACL weblogic.jdbc.connectionPool limits access to all connection pools. See the BEA WebLogic ACL documentation for more information on the "reserve" and "reset" permissions.

NOTE: Only the system administrator can reset a connection pool.

To add permissions for other users, add an entry for the ACL name weblogic.jdbc.connectionPool.<poolID>, which controls access to the connection pool ID. The special user system always grants the permissions "reserve" and "reset" for every ACL, no matter what other permissions have been set.

Examples of setting up "reserve" and "reset" permissions are:

weblogic.allow.reserve.weblogic.jdbc.connectionPool.sales=\
margaret,joe,mary
weblogic.allow.reset.weblogic.jdbc.connectionPool.sales=\
sysMonitor

The following example adds users to a previously created connection pool:

weblogic.allow.reserve.weblogic.jdbc.connectionPool.eng=\
margaret,joe
