Enabling JASPI authentication using the Map JASPI provider option during application deployment
An administrator or deployer can use the Map JASPI Provider option during application deployment to associate web applications and specific web modules with an existing Java™ Authentication SPI (JASPI) authentication provider as defined in the security configuration. This association can also be made when editing the options for a previously installed application.
Before you begin
Before you perform this task, verify that a JASPI authentication provider is defined as part of the global or domain security configuration. Read about Configuring a new JASPI authentication provider using the administrative console for more information.
About this task
By default, an application inherits the JASPI settings defined in the WebSphere® Application Server global or domain security configuration, and web modules inherit the application setting. However, you can override these default values by using the Map JASPI Provider option during application deployment. Use this option to associate a specific JASPI provider from the global or domain security configuration with the entire application or with specific web modules. You can also use this option to specify that JASPI authentication not be used for an application or specific web module.
