Configure a server-side JAAS authentication and login configuration.

Map Step 4 towards the goal: Customizing application login with Java Authentication and Authorization Service

About this task

WebSphere® Application Server supports plugging in a custom JAAS login module before or after the WebSphere® Application Server system login module. However, WebSphere® Application Server does not support the replacement of the WebSphere® Application Server system login modules, which are used to create the WSCredential credential and WSPrincipal principal in the Subject. By using a custom login module, you can either make additional authentication decisions or add information to the Subject to make additional, potentially finer-grained, authorization decisions inside a Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) application.

Before you begin

Customize an application login to perform an identity assertion using JAAS.
