Note that JAAS 1.0_01 requires that you have JavaTM 2 SDK, v 1.3 or the JavaTM 2 Runtime Environment, v 1.3 already installed.
The doc directory contains:
The JAAS API developer's guide contains directions for running a sample JAAS program. This download does not contain any javadocs. To obtain the javadocs, you must download them separately from, http://java.sun.com/products/jaas.
The lib directory contains the JAAS implementation. The JAAS class implementations are bundled in the jaas.jar file.
The lib subdirectory extracted in the previous step contains the extension file, jaas.jar. You can either install this file in the JRE ("installed extension") or bundle it with your application ("bundled extension"): For more information on extensions, please refer to the Extensions Documentation.
For more information on how to install the
jaas.jar
extension file in the JRE,
please reference the
"Installed Extensions"
section in the Extensions documentation.
For more information on how to bundle the
jaas.jar
extension file with your application
or applet, please reference the
"Bundled Extensions"
section in the Extensions documentation.
If you also downloaded the Sample Authentication Modules, uncompress and extract that downloaded file ('unzip jaasmod1_0.zip' on Solaris, or use the WinZip command on Windows). This will create a directory named jaasmod1_0, with two subdirectories named doc and lib. By default, the jaasmod1_0 directory will be created in the same directory as the downloaded file.
The doc directory contains:
Please refer to the Installation Directions contained in the download to complete the Sample Authentication Modules installation.
You can test the JAAS Class Libraries installation by attempting to run the sample program provided in the doc/samples directory of the download. Directions for running the sample program are listed in the JAAS API developer's guide. If the sample program runs without throwing any security exceptions, then it succeeded and was run properly.
