  • A unified security solution across the application server, which is now fragmented into several parts of your configuration
  • Support for secure server-side authentication mechanisms based on HTTP, SASL, and TLS, as well as supporting other authentication protocols in the future without change (such as RADIUS, for example)

  • Propagation of identities to remote application servers...
