The Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) API provides a framework and standard programming interface for authenticating users and assigning privileges. To comply with EJB 2.0 specification, EAServer supports JAAS for user authentication in standalone EJB client applications, and for authenticating resource access to J2EE connectors.
EAServer contains a sample JAAS login module in the html/classes/Sample/JAAS directory, with setup instructions provided in the readme.txt file.
For more information on JAAS, see Chapter 11, “Using the JAAS API,” in the EAServer Security Administration and Programming Guide.
