Login Modules.
- Module class name
- Specifies the class name of the given login module.
- Authentication strategy
- Specifies the authentication behavior as authentication proceeds
down the list of login modules.
A Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) authentication provider
supplies the authentication strategy. In JAAS, an authentication strategy
is implemented through the LoginModule interface.

Required, Requisite, Sufficient and Optional |
- Required
- The LoginModule is required to succeed. If it succeeds or fails, authentication
still continues to proceed down the LoginModule list for each realm.
- Requisite
- The LoginModule is required to succeed. If it succeeds, authentication
continues down the LoginModule list in the realm entry. If it fails, control
immediately returns to the application--that is, authentication does not proceed
down the LoginModule list.
- Sufficient
- The LoginModule is not required to succeed. If it does succeed, control
immediately returns to the application--again, authentication does not proceed
down the LoginModule list. If it fails, authentication continues down the
list.
- Optional
- The LoginModule is not required to succeed. If it succeeds or fails, authentication
still continues to proceed down the LoginModule list.
Specify additional options by clicking Custom Properties under Additional
Properties. These name and value pairs are passed to the login modules during
initialization. This process is one of the mechanisms that is used to passed
information to login modules.
