Authenticate users in the Liberty profile

The Liberty profile server leverages a user registry to authenticate and retrieve user and group information.

Unless we have used the quickStartSecurity element that can configure only one user, we have to configure the user registry at the least. You do not have to configure the values for JAAS, authentication Cache and SSO tasks unless to change the default values. Configure TAI configuration only when we have an implementation of TAI interface to handle authentication.

Configure

1. User registries
2. Authentication cache
3. JAAS custom login module
4. LTPA
5. Relying Party
6. SSO with LTPA cookies
7. RunAs authentication
8. TAI
9. Custom form login page
10. OpenID Connect
