2.4.3 Step 3: The CORBA Client Application Authenticates Itself to the Oracle Tuxedo Domain

If the Oracle Tuxedo domain has a security model in effect, the CORBA client application needs to authenticate itself to the Oracle Tuxedo domain before it can invoke any operations in the CORBA server application. To authenticate itself to the Oracle Tuxedo domain using authentication, the CORBA client application completes these steps:

  1. Uses the Bootstrap object to obtain a reference to the SecurityCurrent object.
  2. Invokes the logon() operation of the PrincipalAuthenticator object, which is retrieved from the SecurityCurrent object.

Note:

For information about using certificate based authentication, see Using Security in CORBA Applications in the Oracle Tuxedo online documentation.
