Authenticating and authorizing clients

You can enable security and credential authentication to authenticate clients. In addition, you can authorize administrative clients to access the data grid.

Authenticating application clients
Application client authentication consists of enabling client-server security and credential authentication, and configuring an authenticator and a system credential generator.
Authorizing application clients
Application client authorization consists of ObjectGrid permission classes, authorization mechanisms, a permission checking period, and access by creator only authorization.
Authorizing administrative clients
Through administrative security, you can authorize users to access the data grid. Certain conditions are required, depending on your WebSphere® eXtreme Scale installation environment and the users that you want to have access.
