Authorizing access to J2EE resources using TAM
The Java Authorization Contract for Containers (JACC) defines a contract between Java EE containers and authorization providers. We can use the default authorization or an external JACC authorization provider. When security is enabled in WAS, the default authorization is used unless a JACC provider is specified.
JACC enables any third-party authorization providers to plug into a Java EE appserver (such as WAS) to make the authorization decisions when a Java EE resource is accessed. By default, WAS implements the JACC provider by using TAM as the external authorization provider.
