Use

Use this section to manage the authentication stacks for the policy configurations of AS Java components.

The authentication management functions of the SAP NetWeaver Administrator enable you to manage component policy configurations, as well as the login modules registered in the authentication stacks of policy configurations. When you change the configuration options for the login modules in the authentication stacks of a policy configuration, the configured login module options apply only to the component policy configuration where the login module is used. To globally configure options for all usage instances of a login module in policy configurations, see Managing Login Modules.
