After you have created the WebSphere® Application Server configuration, you can
integrate WebSphere eXtreme Scale authentication
with WebSphere Application Server.
When a
WebSphere eXtreme Scale client
connects to a container server that requires authentication, the client
must provide a credential generator represented by the
com.ibm.websphere.objectgrid.security.plugins.CredentialGenerator interface.
A credential generator is a factory to create a client credential.
A client credential can be: a user name and password pair, a Kerberos
ticket, a client certificate, or client identification data in any
format that the client and server agree upon. See the
Credential API documentation for more details.
In this sample, the
WebSphere eXtreme Scale client
is the EmployeeManagment web application that is deployed in the appCluster
cluster. The client credential is a WebSphere security token that represents
the web user identity.
