When configuring user authentication, you choose which authentication option you want to use and configure that option. You can also use a different login module if you don’t want to use the module shipped with the product.Authentication is used for applications provided with BusinessEvents and BusinessEvents add-on products, such as TIBCO BusinessEvents Views and TIBCO BusinessEvents Decision Manager).User authentication is performed using a JAAS login module. Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) is a pluggable part of the Java security framework. You can substitute a different implementation of the JAAS login module than the one provided. As another option, you may want to add the provided login module to your existing JAAS login configuration file (thus providing multi-stage authentication).Authentication options are set using CDD file properties. You can choose between the following options for user authentication.File Based Authentication This method authenticates a user against user data stored in a file based repository. This method is not recommended for production purposes.LDAP Authentication This method authenticates users against a directory server using LDAP as a protocol. BusinessEvents applications can leverage this information to authenticate users. The role information is configured through an LDAP attribute (this is directory server specific) like the nsroledn attribute in Sun Java System Directory Server.
