# JAAS Authentication and Authorization Demo

## Preparation

To enable JAAS, edit your start.ini or start.d/*.ini files and add the following lines:

         OPTIONS=jaas
         jaas.login.conf=etc/login.conf
         etc/jetty-jaas.xml

For the jetty distribution demos, jaas is already enabled in the start.d/900-demo.ini file and sets the jaas.login.conf property to webapps.demo/test-jaas.d/login.conf for use with the webapps.demo/test-jaas.war web application.

The full source of this demonstration is available here.

This demo uses a simple login module that stores its configuration in a properties file. There are other types of login module provided with the jetty distro. For full information, please refer to the Jetty 9 documentation.
