Authorizing access to Java EE resources using Tivoli Access Manager

The Java Authorization Contract for Containers (JACC) defines a contract between Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) containers and authorization providers. You can use the default authorization or an external JACC authorization provider. When security is enabled in WebSphere® Application Server, the default authorization is used unless a JACC provider is specified.

Before you begin

JACC enables any third-party authorization providers to plug into a Java EE application server (such as WebSphere Application Server) to make the authorization decisions when a Java EE resource is accessed. By default, WebSphere Application Server implements the JACC provider by using Tivoli® Access Manager as the external authorization provider.

Read the following articles for more detailed information about JACC before you attempt to configure WebSphere Application Server to use a JACC provider:
