Description

The `create-connector-security-map` subcommand creates a security map
for the specified connector connection pool. If the security map is not
present, a new one is created. This subcommand can also map the caller
identity of the application (principal or user group) to a suitable
enterprise information system (EIS) principal in container-managed
authentication scenarios. The EIS is any system that holds the data of
an organization. It can be a mainframe, a messaging system, a database
system, or an application. One or more named security maps can be
associated with a connector connection pool. The connector security map
configuration supports the use of the wild card asterisk (`*`) to
indicate all users or all user groups.

To specify the EIS password, you can add the `AS_ADMIN_MAPPEDPASSWORD`
entry to the password file, then specify the file by using the
`--passwordfile` `asadmin` utility option.

For this subcommand to succeed, you must have first created a connector
connection pool using the `create-connector-connection-pool` subcommand.

This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.

  command.
`--usergroups`::
  Specifies a list of backend EIS user group. More than one user groups
  can be specified using a comma separated list. Use either the
