Security
for the Client Programming Model 
This section describes security issues for calls from a Java Application to an SAP Application Server.
JCA, as part of the J2EE Architecture, uses services of J2EE standard authentication comprised in
JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization Service).
This standard authentication contains authentication methods like
· BasicPassword and
· Kerbv5
These authentication methods are Container Managed Authentication procedures.
The type of authentication is given through the configuration of application descriptors.
When a connection is established, the SAP system checks the validity of the user credentials provided, regardless of the security mechanisms used.
