You can customize Java Authentication and Authorization (JAAS) login configurations by writing a customized login mapping module.
WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® has the ability to provide mapping from a remote method invocation (RMI) inbound request with LDAP credentials to the system authorization facility (SAF) Identity. The use case is a WebSphere Application Server on any platform that is configured to LDAP and sends a RMI/IIOP request to a second server configured to a SAF User Registry. The WebSphere Application Server (release 5.1 and higher) sends a RMI request using LTPA Token representing the LDAP identity to the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS that is configured to SAF. The following figure illustrates this mapping.
The sample below is a JAAS RMI inbound login module that opens the LTPA token, extracts the LDAP userid, strips the cn=userID, and sets the WSCredential to the SAF userid. The sample inbound login module that is configured to the second server is only supported on WebSphere Application Server for z/OS release 6.1 and higher.
The sample is really a hash login module in which the com.ibm.wsspi.security.token.AttributeNameConstants.WSCREDENTIAL_UNIQUEID is set to the desired z/OS SAF Identity. TheltpaLoginModule checks for a com.ibm.wsspi.security.token.AttributeNameConstants.WSCREDENTIAL_UNIQUEID that has been passed and uses the ID specified to build the appropriate security context for the user.
This sample module is configured as a RMI_INBOUND JAAS login module and must be specified at the top of the list followed by the ltpaLoginModule.
In the following sample, a Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) identity is available to control the mapping to a SAF identity. The sample uses the hash login of Constants.WSCREDENTIAL value in the shared state.
