Netegrity SiteMinder Integration
EAServer 4.2.2 supports integration with Netegrity SiteMinder security
software. Netegrity SiteMinder provides single sign-on and centralized
management of Web, database, and software resources in enterprise
applications. For more information, see “Netegrity SiteMinder Integration” in
Chapter 10, “Creating and Using Custom Security Components,” in the
EAServer Security Administration and Programming Guide.
Custom security component API changes
EAServer 4.2.2 augments the APIs available to create custom authentication
services with the new features described in this section. You can create custom
authentication components using the J2EE standard Java Authentication and
Authorization Service (JAAS) API or the EAServer
CtsSecurity interfaces. For
more information, see these chapters in the EAServer Security Administration
and Programming Guide:
• Chapter 10, “Creating and Using Custom Security Components”
• Chapter 11, “Using the JAAS API”
Support for multiple JAAS configuration file sections
Beginning in EAServer 4.2.2, you can identify a configuration file section by
setting the server property
com.sybase.jaguar.server.jaas.section to the name
of the configuration file section to use for the server. If you do not set this
property, the default is the name of the server. Setting this property allows you
to use the same configuration section for multiple servers.
