InfoCenter Home > 5.4.2: Server-side loginUse a server-side login when a program needs to log users into the security domain and to use the authentication data itself. A client-side login collects the authentication data and sends it to another program for actual authentication; a server-side login does both tasks. Server-side login works in the following manner:
The server programmer is responsible for writing the code to extract the authentication data, insert it into the CORBA data structures, and authenticate the user. WebSphere provides a utility class, the ServerSideAuthenticator class, that can be used to simplify the CORBA programming needed to do this kind of programmatic login. This class extends the LoginHelper class used for client-side login. The TestServer application illustrates the use of the ServerSideAuthenticator class. |
