To protect your ObjectGrid data, ObjectGrid can integrate with external security providers.

ObjectGrid can integrate with an external security implementation. This external implementation must provide authentication and authorization services for the ObjectGrid. The ObjectGrid has plug-in points to integrate with a security implementation. ObjectGrid has been successfully integrated with:

• Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
• Kerberos
• WebSphere Application Server security
• Tivoli Access Manager
• Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS)

Any implementation can be integrated. The ObjectGrid uses the security provider for the following tasks:

• Authenticating clients to servers.
• Authorizing clients to access certain ObjectGrid artifacts or to specify what can be done with ObjectGrid artifacts.

ObjectGrid has the following types of authorizations:

• Map authorization: Clients or groups can be authorized to perform insert, read, update, evict or delete operations on Maps.
• ObjectGrid authorization: Clients or groups can be authorized to perform object or entity queries and stream queries on object grids.
• DataGrid agent authorization: Clients or groups can be authorized to allow DataGrid agents to be deployed to an ObjectGrid.
• Server side map authorization: Clients or groups can be authorized to replicate a server map to client side or create a dynamic index to the server map.
• Administration authorization: Clients or groups can be authorized to perform administration tasks.

For more details, see ObjectGrid security overview.
