<h1 class="topictitle1">IBM Java Generic
Security Service (JGSS)</h1>
<div><p>The Java™ Generic Security Service (JGSS) provides a generic
interface for authentication and secure messaging. Under this interface you
can plug a variety of security mechanisms based on secret-key, public-key,
or other security technologies.</p>
<p>By abstracting the complexity and peculiarities of the underlying security
mechanisms to a standardized interface, JGSS provides the following benefits
to the development of secure networking applications: </p>
<ul><li>You can develop the application to a single abstract interface</li>
<li>You can use the application with different security mechanisms without
any changes</li>
</ul>
<p>JGSS defines the Java bindings for the Generic Security Service
Application Programming Interface (GSS-API), which is a cryptographic API
that has been standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and
adopted by the X/Open Group.</p>
<p>The IBM<sup>®</sup> implementation
of JGSS is called IBM JGSS. IBM JGSS is an implementation of the GSS-API
framework that uses Kerberos V5 as the default underlying security system.
It also features a Java Authentication and Authorization Service
(JAAS) login module for creating and using Kerberos credentials. In addition,
you can have JGSS perform JAAS authorization checks when you use those credentials.</p>
<p>IBM JGSS
includes a native iSeries™ JGSS provider, a Java JGSS provider, and Java versions
of the Kerberos credential managerment tools (kinit, ktab, and klist).</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The native iSeries JGSS
provider uses the native iSeries Network Authentication Services (NAS) library.
When you use the native provider, you must use the native iSeries Kerberos
utilities. For more information, see <a href="rzahajgsscfg15.htm">JGSS
providers </a>.</div>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzahajgssconcept.htm">JGSS concepts</a></strong><br />
JGSS operations consist of four distinct stages, as standardized by the Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface (GSS-API).</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzahajgsscfgmain.htm">Configuring your iSeries server to use IBM JGSS</a></strong><br />
How you configure your iSeries server to use JGSS depends on
which version of the Java 2 Software Development Kit (J2SDK)
that you run on your server.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzahajgssuse.htm">Running IBM JGSS applications</a></strong><br />
The IBM Java Generic
Security Service (JGSS) API 1.0 shields secure applications from the complexities
and peculiarities of the different underlying security mechanisms. JGSS uses
features provided by Java Authentication and Authorization Service
(JAAS) and IBM Java Cryptography
Extension (JCE).</li>

Use JGSS to develop secure applications. Learn about generating transport tokens, creating JGSS objects, establishing context, and more.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzahajgssdebug.htm">Debugging</a></strong><br />
When you are trying to identify JGSS problems, use the JGSS debugging capability to produce helpful categorized messages.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzahajgsssamp.htm">Samples: IBM Java Generic Security Service (JGSS)</a></strong><br />
The IBM Java Generic
Security Service (JGSS) sample files include client and server programs, configuration
files, policy files, and javadoc reference information. Use the sample programs
to test and verify your JGSS setup.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzahajgssjavadoc.htm">IBM JGSS javadoc reference information</a></strong><br />
The javadoc reference information for IBM JGSS includes classes and methods in
the org.ietf.jgss api package and the Java versions of some Kerberos credential
management tools.</li>
