JACC Providers

Use the JACC Providers page to configure Java Authorization Contract for Containers (JACC) providers.

JACC is the part of the Java EE specification that defines an interface for pluggable authorization providers. This enables the administrator to set up third-party plugin modules to perform authorization. By default, the GlassFish Server provides a simple, JACC-compliant file-based authorization engine.

For information on how to write the implementation classes for a JACC provider, see the JACC specification at http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=115.

For each JACC provider, the following information is provided.

Name

The name of the JACC provider.

Policy Provider

The name of the class that implements the policy factory.

The JACC Providers table also contains the following options.

New

Button to create a new JACC provider.
