Introducing – LightWave Authentication Exits: Centralized Security for Modern NonStop Integration

At NuWave Technologies, innovation never stands still. Building on our reputation for delivering secure, high performance API solutions for HPE NonStop, we are excited to introduce LightWave Authentication Exits – a robust and flexible authentication framework designed to simplify security across LightWave Client™ and LightWave Server™ applications.

A New Standard for NonStop Security

NonStop customers face growing demands to integrate legacy systems with modern enterprise environments – without sacrificing reliability or security. LightWave Authentication Exits meet these challenges headon, offering a scalable, centralized approach to authentication. This powerful solution streamlines integration with external identity providers, token services, and custom authentication systems, all while reducing the effort required to implement and maintain secure connections.

What Sets LightWave Authentication Exits Apart

Designed for NonStop

• Built entirely on Guardian – no OSS components required
• Compatible with both TNS/E and TNS/X platforms
• Builtin fault tolerance for NonStopclass high availability
• Seamless integration with existing LightWave installations

Comprehensive Monitoring

• Event logging for key process activities
• Diagnostic logs to support troubleshooting and performance tuning

Simplified Development

• Intuitive configuration syntax
• Works with standard LightWave interfaces
• Supports widely used authentication models (including OAuth2 and JWT)
• Comes with examples and detailed documentation to jumpstart deployment

How It Works

For LightWave Client™ Applications:

• Manages authentication tokens centrally – including retrieval, caching, and renewal
• Supports tokens in HTTP headers or query strings
• Compatible with OAuth2 bearer tokens, JWTs, and other token types
• Works easily with identity services such as Okta, Ping Identity, or Auth0
• Frees developers from having to write custom token handling logic for each application

For LightWave Server™ Applications:

• Enables external authentication of REST API calls
• Validates OAuth2 tokens, JWTs, or custom headers
• Leverages a customerprovided Pathway serverclass, or use NuWave’s supplied Guardianbased serverclass (USER_AUTHENTICATE_)
• Integrates with major identity solutions, including Entra ID (formerly Active Directory)
• Configurable access policies through clear, rulesbased controls

RealWorld Applications

LightWave Authentication Exits are ideal for:

• Connecting NonStop systems securely to enterprise identity providers
• Managing tokens across multiple applications with consistency and ease
• Eliminating redundant or fragmented authentication code across solutions
• Supporting mixed environments that combine legacy and modern security standards

Moving NonStop Integration Forward

LightWave Authentication Exits are just one example of how NuWave is committed to pushing the boundaries of NonStop connectivity. Alongside the recently released LightWave Kafka AddOn, we’re helping customers modernize without disruption and integrate without limits. And with upcoming support for financial messaging standards like ISO 20022 and SWIFT already in development, NuWave customers can be confident they’re ready for what’s next.
