Use this page to enable a Java™ Authorization Contract for Containers (JACC) provider for authorization decisions.
The application server provides a default authorization engine that performs all of the authorization decisions. In addition, the application server also supports an external authorization provider using the JACC specification to replace the default authorization engine for Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) applications.
JACC is part of the Java EE specification, which enables third-party security providers such as Tivoli® Access Manager to plug into the application server and make authorization decisions.
Use this option all the time unless you want an external security provider such as the Tivoli Access Manager to perform the authorization decision for Java EE applications that are based on the JACC specification.
Use this link to configure the application server to use an external JACC provider. For example, to configure an external JACC provider, the policy class name and the policy configuration factory class name are required by the JACC specification.
The default settings that are contained in this link are used by Tivoli Access Manager for authorization decisions. If you intend to use another provider, modify the settings as appropriate.
