Modify an existing JASPI authentication provider using the administrative console
We can modify and configure an existing Java Authentication SPI (JASPI) authentication provider in the cell or in the given security domain using the administrative console.
To modify and configure an existing JASPI authentication provider using the administrative console, do the following:
Tasks
- Click...
Security | Global security | Providers
We also have the option to change the Default provider from the drop-down list.
We can modify the value of the Enable Java Authentication SPI (JASPI) checkbox to indicate whether or not JASPI support is enabled at a later time.
- Select an existing JASPI authentication provider to modify.
- Optional: Enter a textual description of the authentication provider in the Description field.
- Enter a new package-qualified name of the class that implements the authentication provider interface...
javax.security.auth.message.config.AuthConfigProvider
...in the Class name field if you wish to change it.
In the Message layer field, the WebSphere Application Server supports only the HttpServlet message layer profile as defined in the JASPI specification. We cannot change this value.
- Optional: Under Custom Properties, select an existing custom configuration property.
Click Delete to remove the property, Edit to modify the property, or click New to create a new property. If we select Edit to modify an existing property, we can enter new values for the Name field and Value field if you wish to change them.
- Click OK or Apply.
