Security Methods to Use for Applications 

Depending on the scope of your application, you may have to protect access to your application. Some of the security mechanisms available include:

●      Assign a particular authentication method to your application.

●      Create and assign a security role to make sure that users are authorized to access the application.

●      Specify a transport guarantee for data transfer.

●      Specify the URL pattern used by your application that resides in the protected domain.

●      Specify the HTTP methods that are allowed within this protected domain.

Constraints

Not all of the application types support all of the protection mechanisms. For example, Web Dynpro applications support the use of programmatic security role references, whereas J2EE applications support the use of declarative security roles. Therefore, for information about what security mechanisms are supported, see the corresponding documentation.
