Description
To assure accountability and prevent unauthorized access, application server users must be uniquely identified and authenticated. The application server must uniquely identify and authenticate application server users or processes acting on behalf of users. This is typically accomplished via the use of a user store which is either local (OS-based) or centralized (LDAP) in nature.
