Jazz Security Architecture is a particular profile of OIDC, specifying which optional features are included, and a few extensions. It is extensible and configurable (with optional features).

The OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication protocol was established in early 2015 as an extension of the OAuth 2.0 protocol, designed to be easier to adopt across a wide range of clients (native applications, browsers, browser-based applications, and mobile devices). When applications are deployed in separate application servers, by default users must login to each of them, though WebSphere servers can be configured to implement single sign-on across a collection of servers.įigure 1: Container Managed Authentication Jazz Security Architecture Single Sign-On (SSO) based on OpenID Connect Of the four types of login allowed by the Java EE servlet specification, Jazz supports three of them: form (the default), Basic, and client certificates. This is the default configuration, and is the only configuration supported in releases prior to 6.0. All other applications delegate authentication to the Jazz Team Server (by redirecting clients to the Jazz Team Server to authenticate with it). The “web container”, or application server (WebSphere or Tomcat), handles authentication for the Jazz Team Server, Rational Team Concert, and Rational Quality Manager servers. There are three options available for configuring user authentication in Jazz products. More Information Authentication Mechanisms

It also describes how to change the configuration to use alternate authentication methods and how to unsecure feed URLs for a custom deployment, along with the tradeoffs associated with each configuration. This note explains the authentication mechanisms used by Jazz applications, and reasons for choosing one over the other.

The 6.0 software release adds two new authentication options, Jazz Security Architecture based on OpenID Connect, and Kerberos. By default, the “core” applications (Jazz Team Server, Rational Team Concert, and Rational Quality Manager) use Java EE authentication per the Java Servlet specification, and the other applications (for example, Rational Doors Next Generation) delegate authentication to a Jazz Team Server. Jazz applications that are included with Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) or Systems and Software Engineering (SSE) are deployed as Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) Web Applications, and as such run within a supported Java EE application server (IBM WebSphere Application Server or Apache Tomcat).
