#4 Pluggable Authentification Module and JAAS

[Markus Elfring]

Is your login system powerful enough to derive a programming interface that will offer PAM
services?

- http://www.opengroup.org/tech/rfc/rfc86.0.html
- http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/
- http://www.dementia.org/~shadow/pam.html

It seems that this standard can be integrated with JAAS.
See document "Making Login Services Independent of Authentication Technologies"
(http://java.sun.com/security/jaas/doc/pam.html).

I have not heard about a "LoginModule"
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/security/jaas/JAASRefGuide.html#LoginModule) for it so
far...
