Authentication for local and WebSphere deployments
Both the Dashboard Viewer and Data Server or Display Server provide authentication through the Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS). JAAS provides a pluggable framework for user authentication and authorization.
The JRE provides authentication modules for use with common authentication services such as LDAP and Kerberos. It also supports the development of new authentication modules for use with custom or proprietary authentication services. The Data Server, Display Server, and Viewer will work with any authentication module that supports JAAS. This openness allows you to integrate dashboards with your existing authentication service.
Important: | Default authentication for local deployments uses a no-op implementation that supports the JAAS login module. All user name/password pairs are authenticated. You can customize authentication for local deployments by supplying your own implementation of the interface javax.security.auth.LoginModule. |
