Hi,

We are trying to make use of SASL authentication for some requirement in our application but somehow when we try to locate the available SASL factories in com.sun.net.ssl package no factories are returned hence there by, not able to create SASLClient instance.

We are basically looking out for implementing a PLAIN authentication in our application.

Are there any special settings in the perspective of JAVA security need to be enabled?

Thanks in advance,
Jaya Krishna

Hi Jaya,

What kind of application is this (wht not use JEE declerative security)? If this is a web application, and that's authentication you're after, then you have plenty of choices that can be configured easily like basic, digest, form based etc. by configuring your web application deployment descriptor.

TBH I never had to use this before, but here's how I guess you shall create a SASL client;



BTW, Sasl here is javax.security.sasl.Sasl.

For detailed explanation and code snippets you may check out Security Information of IBM Java 5 SDK (that's what WAS 6 uses).
