Pentaho Reporting is part of the Pentaho BI Framework, which uses JOSSO for platform-neutral single sign-on (SSO). JOSSO is based on JAAS which provides a pluggable framework to implement and combine multiple authentication schemes and credential stores. An authentication scheme is a security mechanism used to verify a user identity based on their credentials. ?? JOSSO provides userid/password authentication, and certificate based authentication. So, for example, you could configure JOSSO to use certificate-based authentication using x.509 certificates from a database using JDBC, userid/password authentication from an XML document, LDAP authentication, etc.
