Authentication
The Generic JDBC connector supports basic database user and password based authentication and Kerberos security mechanisms. Set authentication details in the Generic JDBC Connector and Link Properties.
DB User
Use the following property settings for the Generic JDBC target connector using the DB User authentication.

| Authentication Mechanism |
Set to DB User. |
| Username |
[Optional] Set to the authorized username. |
| Password |
[Optional] Set the password for the authorized user. |
Kerberos
Use the following property settings for Generic JDBC connector using the Kerberos security model.
| Setting |
Description |
