Differences between IBM and Oracle versions of JAAS
Oracle provides a version of JAAS, although it does not apply directly to z/OS. The IBM version of JAAS for z/OS differs from the Oracle version in the following ways:
- The com.sun.* packages are changed to com.ibm.* packages.
- The OS390LoginModule class provides a default login module that supports basic authentication with the System Authorization Facility (SAF).
- The SAFPermission class provides authorization checking for resources that are protected by SAF.
- The ThreadSubject.doAs class provides a default implementation of ThreadSubject.
