This guide applies to JasperReports Server 5.5, the most recent version at publication time. In version 5.1, Jaspersoft introduced a bean API that leverages the Spring Security framework to simplify the creation and configuration of external authentication for JasperReports Server. External authentication has been removed from the default configuration files; instead, you create a custom application context file and place it in the WEB‑INF directory. Sample files for LDAP and CAS are included in the standard distribution. The instructions in this cookbook refer to files that were added or modified in version 5.5, and instructions were verified on version 5.5. If you are running an earlier version of JasperReports Server, refer to the corresponding version of the Authentication Cookbook.
This guide applies to the community and commercial editions of JasperReports Server. The commercial editions (Professional and Enterprise) have an architecture that supports multiple organizations. Additional instructions are included for the cases of no organizations, a single organization, and multiple organizations, as described in Organizations and Users in JasperReports Server.
