Enabling JAAS for a server

To enable JAAS for a server, you must specify the JAAS configuration file and section name in the server properties. EAServer uses the login module in that section for authentication.

StepsEnabling JAAS for a server:

  1. Highlight the Servers folder.

  2. Highlight the server for which you are identifying the configuration file.

  3. Select File | Properties, and highlight the Security tab.

  4. In the JAAS Configuration File window, enter the name of the JAAS configuration file, or use the browse button to search for the file.

    You can verify the JAAS configuration file setting in the Advanced tab by viewing the com.sybase.jaguar.server.jaas.config property.

    NoteTo disable JAAS, remove the entry from the JAAS Configuration File window.

  5. Optionally specify the name of a section in the JAAS configuration file by setting the property com.sybase.jaguar.server.jaas.section on the Advanced tab. If you do not specify a section name, the file must contain a section with the same name as the server.

This message indicates that JAAS is disabled, or there is a JAAS error; for example, the configuration file is not valid, or there is a problem loading the login module:

May 30 16:30:35 2001: Note: No configuration found for 'Jaguar' in the JAAS configuration file. 
May 30 16:30:35 2001: WARNING: JAAS setup for Authentication is ignored.

Your EAServer installation contains a sample JAAS configuration file, jaas.cfg, in the html/classes/Sample/JAAS directory.
