    What is PicketBox?

    PicketBox (formerly JBoss Security) is a security framework for Java Applications.

     

    The features available are:

    1. Authentication
    2. Authorization/Access Control
    3. Auditing
    4. Mapping (Principal/Roles/Attribute)

     

    The advantage is a simple framework with a single configuration file to handle.

     

    Project Page is http://jboss.org/picketbox.

    Environment Needed

    PicketBox should run in a regular J2SE (Java JRE) environment. Of course, some dependencies are needed.

    Download Releases

    Relationship between PicketBox and PicketLink

    • PicketBox is the foundational security framework that provides the authentication, authorization, audit and mapping capabilities to Java applications.
    • PicketLink (formerly, JBoss Identity) builds on PicketBox foundation and provides an identity model, federated identity support (SAML, WS-Trust, OpenID), Authz(access control developer api), Negotiation (SPNego/Kerberos based desktop SSO).
