Authentication towards a custom JAAS module

All the user name and password authentication methods that are supported by Spotfire Server are implemented as Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) modules. Spotfire also supports third-party JAAS modules.

You may therefore use a custom JAAS module, provided that it does the following:

Validates user name and password authentication.
Uses JAAS' NameCallback and PasswordCallback objects for collecting the user names and passwords.

When using a custom JAAS module, you must place the jar file in the <installation dir>/tomcat/custom-ext directory on all Spotfire Servers.

For more information about JAAS, consult the JAAS Reference Guide.
