What is WebSeal, and Why we use it ?



WebSEAL is a resource manager that protects web-based information and resources. It can provide single sign-on solutions and incorporate back-end web application server resources into its security policy.

WebSEAL acts as a reverse web proxy by receiving HTTP/HTTPS requests from a web browser and delivering content from its own web server or from junctioned back-end web application servers. 
WebSEAL appears as a web server to clients and appears as a web browser to the junctioned back-end servers it is protecting.

Requests passing through WebSEAL are evaluated by the Security Access Manager authorization service to determine whether the user is authorized to access the requested resource.

WebSEAL provides the following features:

  • Supports multiple authentication methods.
  • Integrates with Security Access Manager authorization service.
  • Accepts HTTP and HTTPS requests.
  • Integrates and protects back-end server resources through WebSEAL junction technology.
  • Performs as a reverse web proxy.
  • Provides single sign-on capabilities.
