Authenticating a Client in Application Server 6.x

Application Server 6.x provides a client-side callback mechanism that enables applications to collect authentication data from the user, such as the username and the password.The authentication data collected by the iPlanet CORBA infrastructure is propagated to the application server via IIOP.

If ORBIX 2000 is the ORB used for RMI/IIOP, portable interceptors implement security by providing hooks, or interception points, which define stages within the request and reply sequence.
