Configuring a Server Authentication Module

You can configure a SAM in one of these ways:

• In the Administration Console, open the Security component under the relevant configuration and go to the Message Security page. Set the following options:

  • Authentication Layer — HttpServlet

  • Provider Type — server or client-server

  • Provider ID — Specify a unique name for the SAM, for example MySAM

  • Class Name — Specify the fully qualified class name, for example tip.sam.MySam

  • Additional Property — Name: group-name Value: user

  • Additional Property — Name: realm-name Value: Sam

  For details, click the Help button in the Administration Console.

• Use the asadmin create-message-security-provider command to configure a SAM. Set the following options:

  • --layer HttpServlet

  • --providertype server or --providertype client-server

  • --classname tip.sam.MySam

  • --property group-name=user:realm-name=Sam

  • Provider name operand — Specify a unique name for the SAM, for example MySAM
