+<h1 id="Securityframework">Security framework</h1><p>Karaf supports <a href="http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/jaas/JAASRefGuide.html">JAAS</a> with some enhancements to allow JAAS to work nicely in an OSGi environment.  This framework also features an OSGi keystore manager with the ability to deploy new keystores or truststores at runtime.  </p><h2 id="Overview">Overview</h2><p>This feature allows runtime deployment of JAAS based configuration for use in various parts of the application. This includes the remote console login, which uses the <tt>karaf</tt> realm, but which is configured with a dummy login module by default.  These realms can also be used by the NMR, JBI components or the JMX server to authenticate users logging in or sending messages into the bus.</p><p>In addition to JAAS realms, you can also deploy keystores and truststores to secure the remote shell console, setting up HTTPS connectors or using certificates for WS-Security.</p><p
 >A very simple XML schema for spring has been defined, allowing the deployment of a new realm or a new keystore very easily.</p><h2 id="Schema">Schema</h2><p>To override or deploy a new realm, you can use the following XSD which is supported by a Spring namespace handler and can thus be defined in a Spring xml configuration file.</p><p>Following is the XML Schema to use when defining Karaf realms:</p><div class="syntax"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="cp">&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;UTF-8&quot;?&gt;</span>&#x000A;<span class="c">&lt;!--</span>&#x000A;&#x000A;<span class="c">    Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more</span>&#x000A;<span class="c">    contributor license agreements.

Additional attributes on the <tt>config</tt> elements are a <tt>rank</tt>, which is an integer.  When the LoginContext looks for a realm for authenticating a given user, the realms registered in the OSGi registry are matched against the required name.  If more than one realm is found, the one with the highest rank will be used, thus allowing the override of some realms with new values.  The last attribute is <tt>publish</tt> which can be set to false to not publish the realm in the OSGi registry, thereby disabling the use of this realm.</p><p>Each realm can con
 tain one or more module definitions.  Each module identifies a LoginModule and the <tt>className</tt> attribute must be set to the class name of the login module to use.   Note that this login module must be available from the bundle classloader, so either it has to be defined in the bundle itself, or the needed package needs to be correctly imported.

If you plan to integrate this feature into another OSGi runtime, this class must be made available from the system classloader and the related package be part of the boot delegation classpath (or be deployed as a fragment attached to the system bundle).</p><p>The xml schema defined above allows the use of a simple xml (leveraging spring xml extensibility) to configure and register a JAAS configuration for a given realm.  This configuration will be made available into the OSGi registry as a <a href="http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/karaf/tags/karaf-2.0.0/jaas/config/src/main/java/org/apache/karaf/jaas/config/JaasRealm.java">JaasRealm</a> and the OSGi specific Configuration will look for such services.  Then the proxy login module will be 
 able to use the information provided by the realm to actually load the class from the bundle containing the real login module.</p><p>Karaf itself provides a set of login modules ready to use, depending of the authentication backend that you need.</p><p>In addition of the login modules, Karaf also support backend engine. The backend engine is coupled to a login module and<br/>allows you to manipulate users and roles directly from Karaf (adding a new user, delete an existing user, etc).<br/>The backend engine is constructed by a backend engine factory, registered as an OSGi service.<br/>Some login modules (for security reason for instance) don't provide backend engine.</p><h2 id="Availablerealmandloginmodules">Available realm and login modules</h2><p>Karaf comes with a default realm named "karaf" using login modules.</p><p>Karaf also provides a set of login modules and backend engines to handle authentication needs for your environment.</p><h3 id="PropertiesLoginModule">PropertiesLogi
