NuWave Technologies Introducing: LightWave Authentication Exits

In addition to Kafka integration, NuWave is also proud to introduce LightWave Authentication Exits – a powerful, centralized authentication framework for both LightWave Client and LightWave Server applications on HPE NonStop.

Why It Matters

HPE NonStop customers demand both flexibility and security when integrating legacy applications into modern enterprise architectures. LightWave Authentication Exits provide a robust, scalable solution for centralized authentication, enabling seamless integration with external identity providers, token services, and customer-specific authentication mechanisms – all while minimizing development overhead.

  • Entirely Guardian-based; no OSS dependencies
  • Available on TNS/E and TNS/X systems
  • Fault-tolerant, high-availability architecture
  • Seamless integration with existing LightWave infrastructure

• Performance Monitoring
  • Process event logging
  • Diagnostic logging

•  Rapid Development
  • Simple configuration language
  • Works with standard LightWave interfaces
  • Supports industry-standard authentication methods
  • Pre-built examples and documentation

Core Capabilities

LightWave Client – Authentication Exits

• Centralized request token management
• Automatic token retrieval, caching, and renewal
• Supports any token type (HTTP header or query parameter)
• Compatible with OAuth2 bearer tokens and JSON Web Tokens (JWT)
• Easily integrates with providers like Okta, Ping, or Auth0
• Reduces customer development time by eliminating per-application token logic

LightWave Server – Authentication Exits

• External authentication of REST requests
• Supports OAuth2 bearer tokens, JWTs, and custom authentication headers
• Uses customer-provided Pathway serverclass for authentication logic
• Pre-built serverclass provided for Guardian (USER_AUTHENTICATE_)
• Integrates with third-party identity providers (e.g., Entra ID, formerly Active Directory)
• Access control policies configured through straightforward rules

Potential Uses

• Secure integration with enterprise identity providers
• Centralized token management across multiple LightWave applications
• Eliminate per-application authentication logic
• Support hybrid environments with both legacy and modern authentication requirements

Modernize Without Disruption. Integrate Without Limits.

With the Authentication Exits and LightWave Kafka Add-On, NonStop applications can now stream transactional data to analytics platforms, participate in microservices architectures, and communicate with external systems – all with the reliability NonStop is known for. There’s no need to rewrite your applications; simply extend their reach into modern, real-time enterprise systems.
