FileNet P8 Platform, Version 5.2.1            

JAVA-based client authentication (JAAS)

Content Platform Engine accepts requests either through a standard Java EE EJB or through the Content Engine Web service. Clients of the Content Platform Engine Java API have the option of choosing to use either of these transport layers.

One of the advantages inherent to the EJB transport layer is the ability to leverage Java™ Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS)-based authentication. The JAAS standard provides a mechanism that allows third-party authentication or single sign-on (SSO) solutions to be integrated with any Java EE-compliant application such as Content Platform Engine. If an SSO provider writes a JAAS Login Module for a given application server, then clients of applications hosted in that application server can leverage that SSO solution.

The way that JAAS-based authentication is used can differ in different client and server scenarios.
