Java application development

You can develop Java applications that use Security Access Manager.

For more information about Java application development, see the following topics:

Configuring a Java application into the secure domain
Java applications that use Security Access Manager security must be configured into a Security Access Manager secure domain.
Configuring the Java Authentication and Authorization Service
The Security Access Manager configuration steps follow the configuration methods supported by the Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS).
Developing a resource manager
A resource manager is a Java application that uses the JAAS and the Security Access Manager authorization API Java classes to make access control decisions.
Making authorization decisions outside of Java 2
The Security Access Manager authorization API Java classes also support a completely Java-compliant usage of the Security Access Manager authorization check that is outside of the Java 2 and JAAS framework.
Obtaining entitlements for a specified user
The authorization API supports a service plug-in model that enables developers to add modules that extend the capabilities of Security Access Manager. The entitlements service plug-in is the only type of plug-in that you can call from a Java application at this time.
