</div><h3 id="Introduction">Introduction</h3><div class="text">
<p>Tomcat implements <a href="https://jakarta.ee/specifications/authentication/3.1/">Jakarta
Authentication 3.1</a>. The implementation is primarily intended to enable the
integration of 3rd party authentication implementations with Tomcat.</p>
<p>Jakarta Authentication may be configured in one of two ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>At the container level via the static configuration file
<code>$CATALINA_BASE/conf/jaspic-providers.xml</code>. With this
approach all required classes must be visible to Tomcat's Common class
loader which normally means placing a JAR in
<code>$CATALINA_BASE/lib</code>.</li>
<li>At the web application level via dynamic configuration using the
Jakarta Authentication API. With this approach all required classes
must be visible to the web application class loader which normally
means placing a JAR in the web application's <code>WEB-INF/lib</code>
directory.</li>
</ul>
<p>Users should be aware that if the static Jakarta Authentication
configuration file configures Jakarta Authentication for a given web
application then the Jakarta Authentication configuration will take
precedence over any <code>&lt;login-config&gt;</code> present in the web
application's <code>WEB-INF/web.xml</code> file.</p>
</div><h3 id="Static_configuration">Static configuration</h3><div class="text">
<div class="subsection"><h4 id="AuthConfigProvider">AuthConfigProvider</h4><div class="text">
<p>If the 3rd party implementation includes an
<code>AuthConfigProvider</code> then a web application can be configured to
use it by nesting the following inside the
<code>&lt;jaspic-providers&gt;</code> element in
<code>$CATALINA_BASE/conf/jaspic-providers.xml</code>.</p>
<div class="codeBox"><pre><code>&lt;provider name="any"
className="fully.qualified.implementation.class.Name"
layer="HttpServlet"
appContext="Catalina/localhost /contextPath"
description="any"&gt;
&lt;property name="see-provider-documentation"
value="see-provider-documentation" /&gt;
&lt;/provider&gt;</code></pre></div>
<p>The <code>name</code> and <code>description</code> attributes are not
used by Tomcat.</p>
<p>The <code>className</code> attribute must be the fully qualified class
name of the <code>AuthConfigProvider</code>. The implementation may be
packaged with the web application or in Tomcat's
<code>$CATALINA_BASE/lib</code> directory.</p>
<p>The <code>layer</code> attribute must be <code>HttpServlet</code>.</p>
<p>The <code>appContext</code> attribute must be exactly the concatenation
of:</p>
<ul>
<li>The engine name</li>
<li>The forward slash character</li>
<li>The host name</li>
<li>A single space</li>
<li>The context path</li>
</ul>
<p>If the <code>AuthConfigProvider</code> supports configuration via
properties these may be specified via <code>&lt;property&gt;</code> elements
nesting inside the <code>&lt;provide&gt;</code> element.</p>
</div></div>
<div class="subsection"><h4 id="ServerAuthModule">ServerAuthModule</h4><div class="text">
<p>If the 3rd party implementation only provides an
<code>ServerAuthModule</code> then it will be necessary to provide a number
of supporting classes. These may be a custom implementation or,
alternatively, Tomcat provides a simple wrapper implementation for
<code>ServerAuthModule</code>s.
</p>
<p>Tomcat's wrapper for <code>ServerAuthModule</code> can be configured
by nesting the following inside the
<code>&lt;jaspic-providers&gt;</code> element in
<code>$CATALINA_BASE/conf/jaspic-providers.xml</code>.</p>
<div class="codeBox"><pre><code>&lt;provider name="any"
className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.jaspic.SimpleAuthConfigProvider"
layer="HttpServlet"
appContext="Catalina/localhost /contextPath"
description="any"&gt;
&lt;property name="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.jaspic.ServerAuthModule.1"
value="fully.qualified.implementation.class.Name" /&gt;
&lt;property name="see-provider-documentation"
value="see-provider-documentation" /&gt;
&lt;/provider&gt;</code></pre></div>
<p>The configuration is similar to the <code>AuthConfigProvider</code> in
the previous section but with some key differences.</p>
<p>The <code>className</code> attribute must be
<code>org.apache.catalina.authenticator.jaspic.SimpleAuthConfigProvider</code>.</p>
<p>The <code>ServerAuthModule</code>(s) are specified via properties. The
property name must be
<code>org.apache.catalina.authenticator.jaspic.ServerAuthModule.n</code>
where <code>n</code> is the index of the module. The index must start at 1
an increment in steps of 1 until all modules are defined. The value of the
property must be the fully qualified class name of the module.</p>
</div></div>
</div><h3 id="Dynamic_configuration">Dynamic configuration</h3><div class="text">
<p>Jakarta Authentication modules and configuration can be packaged within a
WAR file with the web application. The web application can then register the
required Jakarta Authentication configuration when it starts using the
standard Jakarta Authentication APIs.</p>
<p>If parallel deployment is being used then dynamic configuration should not
be used. The Jakarta Authentication API assumes that a context path is unique
for any given host which is not the case when using parallel deployment. When
using parallel deployment, static Jakarta Authentication configuration should
be used. This will require that all versions of the application use the same
Jakarta Authentication configuration.</p>

<p>This is not an exhaustive list. The Tomcat community welcomes contributions
that add to this section.</p>

<p>A sample configuration for using this module with Tomcat would look like
this:</p>
