Configuring your server to use IBM JGSS

How you configure your server to use JGSS depends on which version of the Java™ 2 Software Development Kit (J2SDK) that you run on your system.

• Configuring your System i5 to use JGSS with J2SDK, version 1.3
  When you use the Java 2 Software Development Kit (J2SDK), version 1.3 on your server, you need to prepare and configure your server to use JGSS. The default configuration uses the pure Java JGSS provider.

• Configuring your System i5 to use JGSS with J2SDK, version 1.4 or a subsequent version
  When you use the Java 2 Software Development Kit (J2SDK), version 1.4 or above on your server, JGSS is already configured. The default configuration uses the pure Java JGSS provider.

• JGSS providers
  IBM JGSS includes a native System i5™ JGSS provider and a pure Java JGSS provider. The provider that you choose to use depends on the needs of your application.

• Using a security manager
  If you are running your JGSS application with a Java security manager enabled, you need to ensure that your application and JGSS have the necessary permissions.
