This topic describes how the Java and .NET frameworks locate the Access Control configuration file.
A sample login configuration file (named Login.conf) is provided in the %ENDECA_CONF%\etc directory ($ENDECA_CONF/etc on UNIX). You can modify this file (including changing the file name) and store it in any directory.
In a Java framework, JAAS finds the login configuration file by examining the value of the java.security.auth.login.config property within the Java JVM in which the Access Control System is running. If this property is not set, the system will look for a file named .java.login.config in the home directory of the user who started the JVM.
java -Djava.security.auth.login.config=Login.conf weblogic.server
# Default login configuration file login.config.url.1=file:C:/EndecaProjects/SSL/Login.conf
Note that even though the path is on Windows, you must use forward slashes because the path is actually a URL.
Please consult your application server documentation for full details on how to set this property.
The .NET Framework finds the login configuration file by examining the value of a registry setting, which is set by the Endeca installation program to the %ENDECA_CONF%\etc\Login.conf path.
