Sun Java System Access Manager 7 2005Q4 Administration Guide

service Parameter

The service=serviceName parameter allows a user to authenticate via a service’s configured authentication scheme. Different authentication schemes can be configured for different services using the Authentication Configuration service. For example, an online paycheck application might require authentication using the more secure Certificate Authentication module while an realm’s employee directory application might require only the LDAP Authentication module. An authentication scheme can be configured, and named, for each of these services. For example:

http://server_name.domain_name:port/amserver/UI/Login?service=sv1.

Note –

The Authentication Configuration service is used to define a scheme for service-based authentication.
