Creating a JACC Provider
JACC (Java Authorization Contract for Containers) is part of the J2EE 1.4 specification that defines an interface for pluggable authorization providers. This enables you to set up third-party “plug in” modules to perform authorization. By default, the Application Server provides a simple, JACC-compliant file-based authorization engine. For more information, see JACC Providers.
To create a JACC provider:
- In the tree component, expand the Security node.
- Select the JACC Providers node.
- On the JACC Providers page, click New.
- On the Create JACC Provider page, enter the following:
- Name – The application name as displayed in the deployed application list.
- Policy Configuration – The name of the class that implements the policy configuration factory.
- Policy Provider – The name of the class that implements the policy factory.
- Add additional properties to the provider by clicking the Add Property button. Valid properties include:
- repository: the directory that contains the policy file. For the default provider, this value is install_dir
/
domain_dir/generated/policy
.
- Click OK to save this configuration, or click Cancel to quit without saving.
