# Configure Carte servers for JAAS

You can configure Carte to use the Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS) for user authentication. Perform the following steps to configure Carte with JAAS:

1. Modify the following code sample for your LDAP server or properties file environment and save it as `carte-ldap.jaas.conf` in the `openldap` directory of your Carte server:

   ```
   Kettle {
       org.eclipse.jetty.jaas.spi.LdapLoginModule required
       debug="true"
       contextFactory="com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory"
       hostname="localhost"
       port="389"
       bindDn="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com"
       bindPassword="admin"
       authenticationMethod="simple"
       forceBindingLogin="true"
       userBaseDn="ou=People,dc=example,dc=com"
       userRdnAttribute="uid"
       userIdAttribute="uid"
       userPasswordAttribute="userPassword"
       userObjectClass="inetOrgPerson";

      };
      
   Kettle2 {
      org.eclipse.jetty.jaas.spi.PropertyFileLoginModule required
      debug="true"
      file="/installs/common/carte.users";
   }; 

   ```

   **Note:** You may want to set the **debug** parameter to `false` in production environments.
2. Add the following options (with updated path) to `Spoon.bat` (Windows) or `spoon.sh` (Linux)

   ```
   -Djava.security.auth.login.config=<your install path>/openldap/carte-ldap.jaas.conf" "-Dloginmodulename=Kettle
   ```
3. Start Carte and visit the server's page. Verify that it does not prompt for BASIC authentication.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/pdia-data-integration/archived-merged-pages/carte-clusters-archive/set-up-a-carte-cluster/carte-cluster-configuration/configure-carte-servers-for-jaas.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
