Even though we are authenticating against DB, we can’t access DB directly, we are doing it through an API.

I have prepared one Custom authenticator (Data from DB) and UUP from a different data source and it works now. Thanks for the response.

I don’t do much work with the portal but I believe that the authenticator and UUP are unrelated. As a result, you should be able to handle two data sources (one for authentication and one for extra data) assuming that the user names are the same in each DB.

You may not need a custom authenticator, though. If you are using WLS 9.x or greater, RDBMS authenticators are available out-of-the-box. With WLS 8.1, you would need a custom authenticator to go against your Oracle database but there is an example on the BEA site.

Good luck!

Came across your blog and found it very useful. For
our current project, we need user authentication from one data source(Oracle). And user profile(UUP) from another data source(MySQL).

My plan is to develop an Custom authenticator and UUP. Is it possible to do in my case as both of the sources are different?. Is there any relationship between Custom Authenticator and UUP?

Thanks for the blog.
