JCAPS and Security
We are in the process of evaluating JCAPS and I was trying to get some details related to security features. I have not been able to find anything in the documentation yet so I thought I would try here. Here are my questions?
Does JCAPS support user or role based access to administration, monitoring, and other functions? If so, where is that defined and can the access be tied into an organization's existing security framework?
Does JCAPS support encryption of messages?
Thanks in advance.

If you look in the JCaps System Administration Guide you will find that all management of JCaps is performed through a web based application called the Enterprise Manager. In this tool you can define users and assign them roles to allow them to perform various management functions. The users and roles and also be retrieved from an LDAP directory server.
On your second question, as message processing can contain steps performed in Java all standard java encryption libraries are available to encrypt messages. Besides encrypting messages, many message transfer protocols also support an encrypted mode so that messages can be transferred securely without encrypting the message itself.
