# WLEC Connection Pool --> Configuration --> Security

Tasks Related Topics Attributes

## Overview

Using WebLogic Enterprise Connectivity, a security context established in WebLogic Server can be used to establish a security identify in a BEA Tuxedo domain. In a WLEC connection pool, each network connection has been authenticated through a User identity that is defined by the system administrator of WebLogic Server. You can use either password or certificate authentication to establish a WLEC connection pool.

Table 411-1

Attribute Label | Description | Value Constraints
--- | --- | ---
User Name | The name of a qualified user. This field is required only when the security level in the Tuxedo domain is USER_AUTH, ACL or MANDATORY_ACL. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. WLECConnectionPoolMBean` Attribute: `UserName` |
User Password | The password of the qualified user specified in the User Name field. This field is required only when you define the User Name field. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. WLECConnectionPoolMBean` Attribute: `UserPassword` | Encrypted: yes
User Role | The user role for this connection pool. This field is required when the security level in the Tuxedo domain is APP_PW, USER_AUTH, ACL, or MANDATORY_ACL. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. WLECConnectionPoolMBean` Attribute: `UserRole` |
Application Password | The password for the application. This field is required when the security level in the Tuxedo domain is APP_PW, USER_AUTH, ACL, or MANDATORY_ACL. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. WLECConnectionPoolMBean` Attribute: `ApplicationPassword` | Encrypted: yes
Minimum Encryption Level | The minimum SSL encryption level used between the Tuxedo domain and WebLogic Server. Zero (0) indicates that the data is signed but not sealed. 40, 56, and 128 specify the length, in bits, of the encryption key. Default value is 40. If this minimum level of encryption is not met, the SSL connection between Tuxedo and WebLogic Server fails. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. WLECConnectionPoolMBean` Attribute: `MinimumEncryptionLevel` |
Maximum Encryption Level | The maximum SSL encryption level used between the Tuxedo domain and WebLogic Server. Zero (0) indicates that the data is signed but not sealed. 40, 56, and 128 specify the length, in bits, of the encryption key. The default is the maximum level allowed by the Encryption Package kit license. If this minimum level of encryption is not met, the SSL connection between Tuxedo and WebLogic Server fails. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. WLECConnectionPoolMBean` Attribute: `MaximumEncryptionLevel` |
Enable Certificate Authentication | The state of certificate authentication. When you use certificate authentication, WLEC uses the values for the User Name and Application Password fields to create a certificate for WLEC. If you do not use certificate authentication, WLEC uses password authentication or no authentication, depending on the security level of the Tuxedo domain. If password authentication is required, WLEC uses the values for the User Name and User Password fields to authenticate. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. WLECConnectionPoolMBean` Attribute: `CertificateAuthenticationEnabled` | Default: false Valid values: true false
Enable Security Context | The state of the security context the WebLogic Server User passed to the Tuxedo domain. If selected, security context is enabled. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. WLECConnectionPoolMBean` Attribute: `SecurityContextEnabled` | Default: false Valid values: true false
