Security is an important aspect of applications that transport sensitive data over the Internet. Because of this requirement, the Java Servlet 2.2 and JSP 1.2 specifications require the Web server or application server to implement the following security capabilities:
Web servers or application servers may provide SSL and client certificate authentication, although containers that are not J2EE-compliant are not required to do so.
TIBCO Hawk HTTP Adapter supports all of these security mechanisms. It uses container-provided authentication and, like TIBCO Hawk Display, it uses the TIBCO Hawk Trusted model for authorization. TIBCO Hawk HTTP Adapter can be easily be integrated into an existing authentication environment.
