A reporting web application is accessible to any user who has a web browser and the URI for the application. This section discusses the Actuate Java Components security features and how to use them to:
Ensure that users access only those objects in the repository for which they have permission.
Protect sensitive reports.
The types of security you can provide for Actuate Java Components are:
Default application server authentication. The Deployment Kit does not have any security implemented automatically. The application server controls access to the file system and web content.
User authentication using the iPortal Security Extension (IPSE). Use IPSE to customize and control the user login and authentication process. For details about implementing custom user authentication, see Customizing Java Components authentication.
Ensure that users access only those objects in the repository for which they have permission.
