This diagram shows the two different JAAS Providers supplied with OC4J: LDAP-based and XML-based. The diagram shows four levels of hierarchy with the two JAAS Providers at the lowest level.

The top level is the Oracle HTTP Server. Under that, the second level is OC4J. Under OC4J, the third level is the JAZNUserManager. Under JAZNUserManager, the fourth level shows the two JAAS Provider types supplied with OC4J Security:

The LDAP-based provider type uses the Oracle Internet Directory user repository.
