WebSphere eXtreme Scale provides several security endpoints to integrate custom mechanisms. In the local programming model, the main security function is authorization, and has no authentication support. You must authenticate independently from the already existing WebSphere® Application Server authentication. However, there are provided plug-ins to obtain and validate Subject objects.
The following sections describe the two ways in which you can enable local security:
<objectGrids> <objectGrid name="secureClusterObjectGrid" securityEnabled="true" authorizationMechanism="AUTHORIZATION_MECHANISM_JAAS"> ... </objectGrids>
/** * Enable the ObjectGrid security */ void setSecurityEnabled();
For more information, see the ObjectGrid interface.
