Acronym of the Day
JAAS
The JavaTM Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) was introduced as an optional package (extension) to the JavaTM 2 SDK, Standard Edition (J2SDK), v 1.3. JAAS was integrated into the J2SDK 1.4.
JAAS can be used for two purposes:
- for authentication of users, to reliably and securely determine who is currently executing Java code, regardless of whether the code is running as an application, an applet, a bean, or a servlet; and
- for authorization of users to ensure they have the access control rights (permissions) required to do the actions performed.
JAAS implements a Java version of the standard Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) framework. See Making Login Services Independent from Authentication Technologies for further information. Traditionally Java has provided codesource-based access controls (access controls based on where the code originated from and who signed the code). It lacked, however, the ability to additionally enforce access controls based on who runs the code. JAAS provides a framework that augments the Java security architecture with such support.
