Authentication Service client configuration files

Authentication Service client can use different configuration files to specify JAAS configuration, security properties, and Authentication Service client properties.

JAAS configuration file
Your exploiting application must write an entry to the JAAS configuration file to use Authentication Service client APIs. You must also specify the path and name of this JAAS configuration file when you start your application.
Authentication Service client properties file
Your Authentication Service client must use a properties file to handle properties for tokens, the token cache, the URL to the Authentication Service, and the exploiting application.
Security properties configuration file
Although the sample application uses the cfg_file_prefix_ExampleApp.properties file to manage properties for secure connection to the Authentication Service, this approach is for demonstration purposes only.
