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 IBM i user registry.
- Ability to assign an identity to the current IBM i thread.
