Migrating to the EMS JAAS Modules

Servers earlier than EMS 10.0 used to support user LDAP authentication within the EMS server through a set of server properties that started with ldap_. Migrating from this now unsupported authentication mechanism to the JAAS modules is relatively straightforward. Many of the parameters directly map to each other. Nevertheless, there are some differences and so care must still be taken.

The LDAP Group User Authentication module provides similar functionality to that of the pre-EMS 10.0 server. However, if group membership is not required for authentication, then the LDAP Authentication module is a better choice.
