About this task

Step 4 towards the goal: Customizing application login with Java Authentication and Authorization Service

Procedure

WebSphere® Application Server supports plugging in a custom JAAS login module before or after the WebSphere Application Server system login module. However, WebSphere Application Server does not support the replacement of the WebSphere Application Server system login modules, which are used to create the WSCredential credential and WSPrincipal principal in the Subject. By using a custom login module, you can either make additional authentication decisions or add information to the Subject to make additional, potentially finer-grained, authorization decisions inside a Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) application.
