Chapter 3. Configuring Authentication and Authorization for JBoss Data Virtualization

Client authentication concerns authenticating users of a JBoss Data Virtualization instance.

JDBC/ODBC/Web Service clients may use simple passwords to authenticate a user.

Typically a user name is required, however user names may be considered optional if the identity of the user can be discerned by the password credential alone. In any case it is up to the configured security domain to determine whether a user can be authenticated. If you need authentication, the administrator must configure an authentication module.

Auto-generated web services, such as OData, typically support HTTPBasic authentication. This should use Pass-through Authentication.
