jConnect provides Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Kerberos options for securing client-server communications
SSL – use SSL to encrypt communications, including the login exchange, between client and server applications.
Kerberos – use Kerberos to authenticate Java applications or users of Java applications to Adaptive Server without sending user names or passwords over a network. Also use Kerberos to set up a single sign-on (SSO) environment and provide mutual authentication between the digital identity of a Java application and that of Adaptive Server Enterprise.
You can Kerberos and SSL together, providing the advantage of both SSO and encryption of data transferred between client and server applications.
