User & Password
When using the local
or jaas
authentication methods, a server will authenticate other servers connecting to it by validating the user name and password presented by the connecting servers.
In the scenario depicted in the image above:
-
Because A enabled
authorization
:-
If using
local
authentication, A must configure a user named B. -
If using
jaas
authentication, A must be able to validate B’s user credentials via its JAAS authentication module.
-
-
However, because B disabled
authorization
, A need not identify itself to B, and B need not configure, or be aware of a user named A.
Note: OAuth 2.0 authentication is not supported for active-passive route configurations.
