New JACC Provider
Use the New JACC Provider page to create a new JSR-115/196compliant Java Authorization
Contract for Containers (JACC) provider that can be used by third-party authorization modules
for applications running in GlassFish Server. The JACC provider is created as a
jacc-provider element within the security-service element in the domain's domain.xml file.
The default GlassFish Server installation includes two JACC providers, named default and simple.
Any new JACC providers you create are in addition to these two default
providers. The default GlassFish Server JACC providers implement a simple, file-based authorization engine
that complies with the JACC specification.
All GlassFish Server JACC providers must use the Java Authentication and Authorization Service
(JAAS) APIs. JAAS enables services to authenticate and enforce access controls upon users.
JAAS implements a Java technology version of the standard Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM)
framework.
JSR 196 allows you to develop plugins at different layers. You can
define plugins that change the way new authentication mechanism are configured, such as AuthConfigProvider
and AuthConfigFactory. You can also define new authentication mechanisms, such as ServerAuthModule and
ClientAuthModule.
The New JACC Provider page contains the following options.
