## Preface

This guide describes how to install, configure, and run the Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) that is used to test the Java Authentication API for Containers (JASPIC 1.1) (JSR 196) technology.

The JASPIC TCK is a portable, configurable automated test suite for verifying the compatibility of a licensee’s implementation of the JASPIC 1.1 Specification (hereafter referred to as the licensee implementation). The JASPIC TCK uses the JavaTest harness version 5.0 to run the test suite
