JPam - a bridge between JAAS and Unix PAM security
I have just released JPam 1.0.
JPam is a Java-PAM bridge. PAM, or Pluggable Authentication Modules, is a standard security architecture used on Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, HP-UX and other Unix systems. JPam is the missing link between the two.
JPAM permits the use of PAM authentication facilities by Java applications running on those platforms.
These facilities include:
- account
- auth
- password
- session
It features JAAS and direct APIs, support for most Unix OSs and architectures and much more...
JPam is available under an Apache open source license and is actively developed, maintained and supported.
You can use it in both JSDK and JEE environments. I use it in the Glassfish application server with a custom AuthModule to utilise Vasco hardware tokens for login.
See http://jpam.sf.net for more details.
