<a name="BEGIN" id="BEGIN"></a>
<p>Use the JACC Providers page to configure Java Authorization Contract for Containers (JACC) providers for the selected GlassFish Server instance or cluster.</p>
<p>JACC providers can be used by third-party authorization modules for applications running in GlassFish Server. The default GlassFish Server installation includes two JACC providers, named <code>default</code> and <code>simple</code>. These default providers implement a simple, file-based authorization engine that complies with the JACC specification. You can also create your own custom JACC providers. See <a href="task-jaccprovidernew.html">To Create a JACC Provider</a>.</p>
<p>For information on how to write the implementation classes for a JACC provider, see the JACC specification at <code><a href="http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=115">http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=115</a></code>.</p>
<p>For each JACC provider, the following information is provided.</p>
<dl>
<dt>Name</dt>
<dd>
<p>The name of the JACC provider. This name is used to reference the <code>jacc-provider</code> element in <code>domain.xml</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt>Policy Configuration</dt>
<dd>
<p>The fully qualified class name for the <code>jakarta.security.jacc.PolicyConfigurationFactory.provider</code> that implements the provider-specific <code>jakarta.security.jacc.PolicyConfigurationFactory</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt>Policy Provider</dt>
<dd>
<p>The fully qualified class name for the <code>jakarta.security.jacc.policy.provider</code> that implements the <code>java.security.Policy</code>.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>The default JACC providers also support the following property.</p>
<dl>
<dt>repository</dt>
<dd>
<p>The directory containing the JACC policy file. For the <code>default</code>GlassFish Server JACC provider, the default directory is <code>${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/generated/policy</code>. This property is not defined by default for the <code>simple</code>GlassFish Server JACC provider.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>The JACC Providers table also contains the following options.</p>
<dl>
<dt>New</dt>
<dd>
<p>Button to create a new JACC provider.</p>
</dd>
<dt>Delete</dt>
<dd>
<p>Button to delete one or more selected JACC providers.</p>
</dd>
