Chapter 6. Data Source Security
6.1. Data Source Security
Data source security is about security considerations when JBoss Data Virtualization connects to data sources it is integrating. The following are other security considerations not already covered.
- Authorization
- Any data source level authorization decisions are up to the source systems being integrated.
- Encryption
- Encrypting remote data source access is the responsibility for the resource adapter and library/driver used to access the source system.
- Translators
- The translator framework also provides hooks for securing access at the datasource level. ExecutionFactory.getConnection may be overridden to initialize the source connection in any number of ways, such as re-authentication, based upon the Subject, execution payload, session variables, and any of the other relevant information accessible via the ExecutionContext and the CommandContext. You may even also modify the generated source SQL in any way that is seen fit in the relevant Execution.
