Description

From discussing KC review with Alasdair.

There's a KC topic.

Talk with SME about how this ties in with the JAAS security stuff (#3359) as some Oracle docs I found implied that Java 2 Security is required by JAAS providers. So #3359 might depend on this. But neither might be that high priority for the OL docs anyway. Need to find solid use cases from the SME to decide on priority and whether it's worth covering at all for OL. Also, make sure that anything in the KC topic still applies to OL (both technically and whether it applies to cloud/containers).

Research direction

Start with the linked Knowledge Center Java 2 Security topic and the Oracle material about JAAS providers, then consult the SME about concrete Open Liberty use cases. Compare the topic with Open Liberty, cloud, and container behavior, and coordinate with issue #3359. Done means deciding whether this documentation is applicable and worth covering, with any dependency on #3359 established.
