JASPI authentication enablement for applications
Use this page to enable or disable Java Authentication SPI (JASPI) authentication for an application or web module, and to specify the name of a JASPI authentication provider to be used for authenticating messages for the application or web module.
From the admin console, click...
Applications > Application Types > WebSphere enterprise applications. Select an application, and under Detail Properties, select JASPI provider.
Select JASPI provider
Select to indicate the web modules in the application that you wish to specify or to override the default JASPI authentication settings for.
Select one of the JASPI provider names to choose a provider to use to perform authentication of web requests for the selected Web module or the application.
To specify how JASPI authentication is performed for the selected web module or the application, choose one of the following:
- Do not use JASPI
- Select to disable JASPI authentication for the selected web module or for the application.
- Inherit JASPI provider
- Select to inherit the JASPI authentication settings from default values in the cell or domain security configuration, as appropriate.
When Inherit JASPI provider is selected for a web module, JASPI authentication settings for the selected module are the settings specified for the application.
When Inherit JASPI provider is selected for the application, JASPI authentication settings are the settings specified in the appropriate cell or domain security configuration.
- Provider name
- When a specific provider name is selected, that provider is used to perform authentication of web requests for the selected application or web module.
If JASPI authentication is enabled, and a specific provider name is not specified, then the default provider name is used. See configuring a new JASPI authentication provider using the administrative console.
If JASPI authentication is disabled, or if no default provider is selected, JASPI authentication is not performed. Web authentication is then performed according to another authentication mechanism as selected in the cell or domain security configuration.
