Can I use JAAS as the authentication technology for servlets ?
Yes, JAAS can be used as authentication technology for servlets. One important feature of JAAS is pure Java implementation. The JAAS infrastructure is divided into two main components: an authentication component and an authorization component. The JAAS authentication component provides the ability to reliably and securely determine who is currently executing Java code, regardless of whether the code is running as an application, an applet, a bean, or a servlet.
