Oracle BAM 11gR1 Handbook

BAM utilizes the authentication mechanism provided by the Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS), to validate identities of BAM users. JAAS is a Java security framework, which introduces the following key concepts:
Principal: A Java object that represents an entity, such as a user, group, or role
Subject: A Java object that represents a single entity that may contain multiple principals
Authentication: The process of verifying a user's identity by using credentials, such as the username/password combination
When JAAS authenticates a subject, it first verifies its identity by checking its credential. If the credential is successfully verified, the authentication framework associates the credentials, as needed, with the subject, and then adds the principals to the subject.
Let's take a look at an object dump of a JAAS subject, which can be extracted from the diagnostic log file of the BAM Server.
