Security classes
The IBM Toolbox for Java gives you security classes. You use the
security classes to provide secured connections to an AS/400
system, verify a user's identity, and associate a user with the
operating system thread when running on the local AS/400 system.
The security services included are:
- Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Provides
secure connections both by encrypting the data exchanged between a
client and an AS/400 server session and by performing server
authentication.
- Authentication Services: Provide the
ability to:
- Authenticate a user identity and password against the OS/400
user registry.
- Ability to assign an identity to the current OS/400
thread.
