Developing custom login modules for a system login configuration for JAAS

For WebSphere® Application Server, multiple Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) plug-in points exist for configuring system logins. WebSphere Application Server uses system login configurations to authenticate incoming requests, outgoing requests, and internal server logins.

About this task

Application login configurations are called by Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) applications for obtaining a Subject that is based on specific authentication information. This login configuration enables the application to associate the Subject with a specific protected remote action. The Subject is picked up on the outbound request processing. The following list identifies the main system plug-in points. If you write a login module that adds information to the Subject of a system login, these are the main login configurations to plug in:
  • WEB_INBOUND
  • RMI_OUTBOUND
  • RMI_INBOUND
  • DEFAULT
