This document covers in detail all the concepts applicable to configuration, operation, and customization of the JEUS® (hereafter JEUS).
To fully understand this guide, users need to understand the following:
J2SE security architecture and general security technologies (SSL/TLS, Digital Authentication, Role-based User Authentication Model)
JEUS security architecture
To understand the basic concepts and applications of JEUS, it is recommended that users refer to the following:
This guide includes examples and environment settings in UNIX. To use them in other environments such as Microsoft Windows™ (hereafter Windows), users need to consider several conditions.
For example, the Unix delimiter "/" should be replaced with the Windows delimiter "\". The environment variables also need to be specified using (%%). Note that JEUS_HOME referred to in this guide is the home directory of JEUS.
This document contains materials regarding Java SE, but it does not provide details about the Java EE or SE specifications. For such details, see Java documentation.
