Preconfigured system login configurations

The following predefined system login configurations are defined on the system logins panel, which is accessible by completing the following steps:

  1. Click Security > Global security.

  2. Expand Java Authentication and Authorization Service, click System logins.

system.wssecurity.IDAssertionUsernameToken

Enables a Version 6.x application to use identity assertion to map a user name to an application server credential principal.

system.wssecurity.IDAssertion

Enables an application to use identity assertion to map a user name to an application server credential principal.

system.wssecurity.Signature

Enables an application to map a distinguished name (DN) in a signed certificate to an application server credential principal.

system.LTPA_WEB

Processes login requests used by the web container such as servlets and JSP files.

system.WEB_INBOUND

Handles logins for web application requests, which include servlets and JSP files.

system.RMI_INBOUND

Handles logins for inbound Remote Method Invocation (RMI) requests.

system.DEFAULT

Handles the logins for inbound requests that are made by internal authentications and most of the other protocols ecept web applications and RMI requests.

system.RMI_OUTBOUND

Processes RMI requests sent outbound to another server when either the com.ibm.CSI.rmiOutboundLoginEnabled or the com.ibm.CSIOutboundPropagationEnabled properties are true. These properties are set in the CSIv2 (CSIv2) authentication panel.

To access the panel, click Security > Global security. Epand RMI/IIOP security, click CSIv2 Outbound authentication. To set the com.ibm.CSI.rmiOutboundLoginEnabled property, select the Custom outbound mapping option. To set the com.ibm.CSIOutboundPropagationEnabled property, select the Security attribute propagation option.

system.wssecurity.509BST

Verifies an .509 binary security token (BST) by checking the validity of the certificate and the certificate path.

system.wssecurity.PKCS7

Verifies an .509 certificate with a certificate revocation list in a Public Key Cryptography Standards #7 (PKCS7) object.

system.wssecurity.PkiPath

Verifies an .509 certificate with a public key infrastructure (PKI) path.

system.wssecurity.UsernameToken

Verifies basic authentication (user name and password).
