JACC provider configuration properties for Tivoli Access Manager

The JACC provider configuration properties that are detailed in the following section may require configuration.

(dist)(zos) The Java property files are created in the profile_root/etc/tam directory.

(iseries) The Java property files are created in the WAS profile_root directory.

Two properties files might require configuration:

• amwas.node_server_name.amjacc.properties contains properties used by the JACC provider of Tivoli Access Manager.

• amwas.node_server_name.pdjlog.properties contains logging properties created from the amwas.pdjlog.template.properties file for the specific node and server combination at the time of configuration.

Use amwas.node_server_name.amjacc.properties file to configure static role caching, dynamic role caching, object caching, and role-based policy framework properties.

Subtopics

• Static role caching properties
  The static role cache holds role memberships that do not expire.

• Dynamic role caching properties
  The dynamic role cache holds role memberships that expire.

• Object caching properties
  The object cache is used to cache all Tivoli Access Manager objects, including their extended attributes. This bypasses the need to query the Tivoli Access Manager authorization server for each resource request.

• Role-based policy framework properties
  Although it is very unlikely that you will need to change these properties, use this file to reference supported properties within the role-based policy framework.

• System-dependent configuration properties
  Do not change these system-dependent configuration properties. These properties are included for reference only.
