Sources of Authentication Data

The server uses only one source of X.509 certificate authentication data, namely, the server parameter ssl_server_trusted (its value is set in EMS an configuration file). The server can use three sources of secure password authentication data:

  • Local data from the EMS configuration files.
  • External data from an LDAP server (using provided JAAS LoginModules).
  • A user-supplied JAAS LoginModule.

You must safeguard the security of EMS configuration files and LDAP servers.
