Hi friends,

update WebSphere Security fails with my CustomRegistry IBM Interface implementation class using a Oracle8i as registry and datasource.getConnection().

I see a warn: Illegal use of 1PC resource in transaction. Driver for the datasource is a 1PC OracleConnectionPoolDataSource.

No fails if I use DriverManager.getConnection(), but we don't like this...

What we would like you to know is that the problem seems to came out only when IBM WAS try to perform an update to the security using the class that implement the CustomRegistry interface. This task is performed if we modify the security from the administration console.
While the server side application is running the authentication process works fine. It is worth to notice that during the application
authentication the same methods are invoked.

Tryng a version of the implementation class for the CustomRegistry interface that gets the connection using the DriverManager java class, the
security update from the administration console works properly, and changing then the class with the one that gets the connections from the
data source no exception is been thrown. But this is a workaround ant it is not useful for production system.

Someone else solved the problem installing a 2PC driver, but there is no official documentation, so few questions:

- where can I find documentation on a CustomRegistry using a database ?
- Using the 2-PC driver it is mandatory to use XAConnection in the implementation of the CustomRegistry interface? In this case, could you
send me an example ?
- Using the 2-PC do we need any installation/configuration requirement ?

thanks for wour help,
Best regards

Gianni
