The following CSIv2 features are available in IBM WAS:

1. SSL client certificate authentication.

   An additional way to authenticate a client to a server using SSL client authentication.

2. Message layer authentication.

   Authenticates credential information and sends that information across the network so that a receiving server can interpret it.

3. Identity assertion.

   Allows a downstream server to accept the client identity established on an upstream server, without having to reauthenticate. The downstream server trusts the upstream server.
