application programming steps</h1>
<div><p>There are multiple steps required to develop a JGSS application,
including using transport tokens, creating the necessary JGSS objects, establishing
and deleting context, and using per-message services.</p>
<p>Operations in a JGSS application follow the Generic Security Service Application
Programming Interface (GSS-API) operational model. For information about concepts
important to JGSS operations, see <a href="rzahajgssconcept.htm">JGSS
concepts</a>.</p>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">JGSS transport tokens</h4><p>Some of the important JGSS
operations generate tokens in the form of Java™ byte arrays. It is the responsibility
of the application to forward the tokens from one JGSS peer to the other.
JGSS does not constrain in any way the protocol that the application uses
for transporting tokens. Applications may transport JGSS tokens together with
other application (that is, non-JGSS) data. However, JGSS operations accept
and use only JGSS-specific tokens.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Sequence of operations in a JGSS application</h4><p>JGSS
operations require certain programming constructs that you must use in the
order listed below. Each of the steps applies to both the initiator and the
acceptor.</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The information includes snippets of example code that
illustrate using the high-level JGSS APIs and assume that your application
imports the org.ietf.jgss package. Although many of the high-level APIs are
overloaded, the snippets show only the most commonly used forms of those methods.
Of course, use the API mehods that best suit your needs.</div>

<li><a href="rzahajgssdev1020.htm">Creating a GSSName</a> <p>A GSSName
represents the identity of a JGSS principal. Some JGSS operations can locate
and use a default principal when you specify a null GSSName.</p>
</li>
<li><a href="rzahajgssdev1030.htm">Creating a GSSCredential</a> <p>A

</li>
<li><a href="rzahajgssdev1050.htm">Selecting optional services on the

such as mutual authentication.</p>
</li>
<li><a href="rzahajgssdev1060.htm">Establishing context</a> <p> The
initiator authenticates itself to the acceptor. However, when requesting mutual
authentication, the acceptor in turn authenticates itself to the initiator.</p>

<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzahajgssdev1010.htm">Creating a GSSManager</a><br />
The GSSManager abstract class serves as a factory for creating JGSS objects.</li>
<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzahajgssdev1020.htm">Creating a GSSName</a><br />
GSSName represents the identity of a GSS-API principal. A GSSName may contain many representations of the principal, one for each supported underlying mechanism. A GSSName that contains only one name representation is called a Mechanism Name (MN).</li>
<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzahajgssdev1030.htm">Creating a GSSCredential</a><br />
A GSSCredential contains all the cryptographic information necessary to create a context on behalf of a principal and can contain credential information for multiple mechanisms.</li>
<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzahajgssdev1040.htm">Creating GSSContext</a><br />
IBM<sup>®</sup> JGSS
supports two methods provided by GSSManager for creating a context.</li>
<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzahajgssdev1050.htm">Requesting optional security services</a><br />
Your application can request any of several optional security services. IBM<sup>®</sup> JGSS
supports several services.</li>
<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzahajgssdev1060.htm">Establishing context</a><br />
The two communicating peers must establish a security context over which they can use per-message services.</li>
<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzahajgssdev1070.htm">Using per-message services</a><br />
After establishing a security context, two communicating peers can exchange secure messages over the established context.</li>
<li class="olchildlink"><a href="rzahajgssdev1080.htm">Deleting context</a><br />
A peer deletes a context when the context is no longer needed. In JGSS operations, each peer unilaterally decides when to delete a context and does not need to inform its peer.</li>
