Use this page to specify a list of Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) login configurations for the application code to use, including J2EE components such as enterprise beans, JavaServer Pages (JSP) files, servlets, resource adapters, and message data blocks (MDBs).
Read the JAAS specifications before you begin defining additional login modules for authenticating to the WebSphere Application Server security run time. You can define additional login configurations for your applications. However, if the WebSphere Application Server LoginModule (com.ibm.ws.security.common.auth.module.WSLoginModuleImpl) is not used or the LoginModule does not produce a credential that is recognized by WebSphere Application Server, then the WebSphere Application Server security run time cannot use the authenticated subject from these login configurations for an authorization check for resource access.
If launchClient.bat file is not used to invoke Java client programs, make sure that the appropriate JAAS configuration file is passed to the Java virtual machine with the -Djava.security.auth.login.config flag.
Configuration tab
Specifies the login configuration used by the client container application, which uses the CallbackHandler API defined in the client container deployment descriptor.
The ClientContainer configuration is the default login configuration for the WebSphere Application Server. Do not remove this default, as other applications that use it fail.
Default: | ClientContainer |
Specifies the login configuration used by Java 2 Connectors to map users to principals that are defined in the J2C Authentication Data Entries.
ClientContainer is the default login configuration for the WebSphere Application Server. Do not remove this default, as other applications that use it fail.
Default: | ClientContainer |
Specifies whether all applications can use the WSLogin configuration to perform authentication for the WebSphere Application Server security run time.
This login configuration does not honor the CallbackHandler defined in the client container deployment descriptor. To use this functionality, use the ClientContainer login configuration.
The WSLogin configuration is the default login configuration for the WebSphere Application Server. Do not remove this default because other administrative applications that use it will fail. This login configuration authenticates users for the WebSphere Application Server security run time. Use credentials from the authenticated subject returned from this login configurations as an authorization check for access to WebSphere Application Server resources.
Default: | ClientContainer |
