WebSphere® Application Server supports security in the CORBA C++ client to access-protected enterprise beans. If configured, C++ CORBA clients can access protected enterprise bean methods using a client certificate to achieve mutual authentication on WebSphere Application Server applications.
You can achieve interoperability
of Security Authentication Service between the C++ Common Object Request
Broker Architecture (CORBA) client and WebSphere Application Server using Common Secure
Interoperability Version 2 (CSIv2) authentication protocol over Remote
Method Invocation over the Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (RMI-IIOP).
The CSIv2 security service protocol has authentication, attribute
and transport layers. Among the three layers, transport authentication
is conceptually simple, however, cryptographically based transport
authentication is the strongest. WebSphere Application Server has implemented
the transport authentication layer, so that C++ secure CORBA clients
can use it effectively in making CORBA clients and protected enterprise
bean resources work together.

Security authentication from non-Java based C++ client to enterprise beans. WebSphere Application Server supports security in the CORBA C++ client to access-protected enterprise beans. If configured, C++ CORBA clients can access protected enterprise bean methods using a client certificate to achieve mutual authentication on WebSphere Application Server applications.
C++ security setting | Description |
---|---|
client_protocol_password | Specifies the password for the user ID. |
client_protocol_user | Specifies the user ID to authenticate at the target server. |
security_sslKeyring | Specifies the name of the RACF® keyring for the client to use. The keyring must be defined under the user ID that is issuing the command to run the client. |
