Package com.sun.enterprise.security.jaspic Description

This package contains much of the integration code for JASPIC.

JASPIC is the EE standard for taking care of the authentication aspects of security. It allows for users to supply pluggable custom authentication mechanisms called SAMs ServerAuthModule.

Unlike Servlet or EE Security there are no default authentication mechanisms in JASPIC.

Code in this package builds upon the general (server independent) JASPIC Provider Framework Reference Implementation (org.glassfish.main.security:jaspic.provider.framework). It adds to this framework by implementing the Payara specific bits.

For Web/Servlet requests the authentication code is called from Catalina (Tomcat) via com.sun.web.security.RealmAdapter and then com.sun.web.security.realmadapter.JaspicRealm.

The pluggable authentication mechanisms are managed by the AuthConfigFactory. The Payara specific implementation of this is GFAuthConfigFactory, which is installed by com.sun.enterprise.security.ee.JavaEESecurityLifecycle.
