Since EMS 8.1, TIBCO provides several pre-built JAAS modules (<EMS install directory>\bin\tibemsd_jaas.jar) that can be used to enable LDAP and host-based authentication in the EMS server. Refer to KB 41021 for how to configure LDAP Group User Authentication using EMS 8.1 pre-built JAAS modules.

The <EMS install directory>\samples\config\jaas directory contains security pre-build JAAS configuration file samples demonstrating the use of EMS provided JAAS login modules. Review the readme file for details.

The <EMS install directory>\src\java\jaas directory contains the source files of pre-build JAAS modules, allowing customization and extension of functionality.  After compiling and packaging your modified JAAS module into modified_ems_jaas.jar, you can replace the <EMS install directory>\bin\tibemsd_jaas.jar with your modified JAAS module: modified_ems_jaas.jar. Review the readme file under <EMS install directory>\src\java\jaas directory for details.
