SOA Agent Login Module

The SOA Agent Login Module is a JAAS Login Module that performs authentication and authorization for JAX-RPC web services protected by the SOA Agent HTTP JAX-RPC Handler. (Login Module functionality is built into the SOA Agent WS and JMS JAX-RPC Handlers.)

The SOA Agent Login Module can authenticate and authorize credentials obtained by the SOA Agent JAX-RPC Handler from SOAP requests or from associated SiteMinder session cookies of user with pre-established SOA Security Manager and SiteMinder sessions.

If SOA Security Manager authentication is successful, the SOA Agent Login Module determines whether an authenticated user is allowed to access a protected JBoss resource, based on associated SOA Security Manager authorization policies.

Note: If you configure the SOA Agent Login Module, you must also configure the SOA Agent JAX-RPC Handler.
