Introduction

This chapter introduces the SiteMinder Agent for JBoss and describes how it integrates with the JBoss Application Server to secure J2EE resources deployed on that operating environment.

The SiteMinder Agent for JBoss provides the following two JBossSX custom security interceptors that allow it to be configured into SiteMinder and SOA Security Manager environments as required:

SiteMinder Agent Security Interceptor

The SiteMinder Agent Security Interceptor provides a SiteMinder Agent solution that provides SiteMinder access control for web application resources (including servlets, HTML pages, JSP, and image files).

SOA Agent Security Interceptor

The SOA Agent Security Interceptor provides a SOA Agent solution that provides SOA Security Manager access control for JAX-WS and JAX-RPC web service resources.
