You use the IBM® Toolbox
for Java™ security
classes to provide secured connections to a server, verify a user's identity,
and associate a user with the operating system thread when running on the
local server. The security services included are:
- Communications infrastructure using Java Secure
Socket Extension (JSSE) provides secure connections both by encrypting
the data exchanged between a client and a server session and by performing
server authentication.
- Authentication Services provide
the ability to:
- Authenticate a user identity and password against the i5/OS™ user registry.
- Ability to assign an identity to the current i5/OS thread.
