JAAS Realm (org.apache.catalina.realm.JAASRealm)

+ +

JAASRealm is an implementation of the Tomcat 6 + Realm interface that authenticates users through the Java + Authentication & Authorization Service (JAAS) framework which is now + provided as part of the standard J2SE API.

+ +

Using JAASRealm gives the developer the ability to combine practically + any conceivable security realm with Tomcat's CMA.

+ +

JAASRealm is prototype for Tomcat of the JAAS-based J2EE authentication + framework for J2EE v1.4, based on the JCP Specification Request + 196 to enhance container-managed security and promote 'pluggable' + authentication mechanisms whose implementations would be + container-independent.

+ +

Based on the JAAS login module and principal + (see javax.security.auth.spi.LoginModule and + javax.security.Principal), you can develop your own security + mechanism or wrap another third-party mechanism for integration with the CMA + as implemented by Tomcat.

+ +

The JAAS Realm implementation supports the following additional + attributes:

+ + + + +

The name of the application as configured in your login configuration + file + (JAAS LoginConfig).

+ + + +

A comma-seperated list of the names of the classes that you have made + for your user Principals.

+ + + +

A comma-seperated list of the names of the classes that you have made + for your role Principals.

+ + + +

Instructs JAASRealm to use the context class loader for loading the + user-specified LoginModule class and associated + Principal classes. The default value is true, + which is backwards-compatible with the way Tomcat 5 works. To load + classes using the container's classloader, specify + false.

+ + + + +

See the Container-Managed Security + Guide for more information on setting up container managed security + using the JAAS Realm component.
