WAS v8.5 > Secure applicationsAuthenticate users
The process of authenticating users involves a user registry and an authentication mechanism. Optionally, we can define trust between WAS and a proxy server, configure single sign-on, and specify how to propagate security attributes between application servers. After completing the configuring the authentication process, authorize access to resources.
