# Writing an Authentication Module

The LoginModule is a custom module that runs inside the EMS server within a JVM. The LoginModule is written using JAAS, a set of APIs provided by Sun Microsystems, and used to create plugable Java applications. JAAS provides the interface between your code and the EMS server. JAAS is a standard part of JRE, and is installed with EMS.
