  • 1.  Difference between Java2 securitry and J2EE Securiy in Websphere

    Posted 07/06/15 09:19 AM
    Hi,

    I am wondering whether J2C authentication in Websphere corresponds to Java2 Security or J2EE security.

    What is the difference between these two?
    While configuring J2C Authentication alias in WAS Console, are we  configuring Java2 Security or J2EE Securiy?

    I am prety much confused in these. Please help me in this regard.
    Thanks.

    Hi rlrt

      Basically:
     
      "Java 2 security guards access to system resources such as file I/O, sockets, and properties." -> f.e you need to specify which files (jars) can be read if you don't do WAS not be able to read
     
     
      "Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) security guards access to web resources such as servlets, JavaServer Pages (JSP) files and Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) methods."-> f.e You protect access to servlets or JSP and only user in rol can access
     
      J2C authentication alias is part JAAS and is more related to J2EE Security not Java 2 security.
     
      Java 2 security

      Select a J2C authentication alias
