• Bind--The LDAP security realm retrieves user data, including the password for the LDAP server, and checks the password in WebLogic Server.

• External--The LDAP security realm authenticates a user by attempting to bind to the LDAP server with the username and password supplied by the WebLogic client.

• Local--The LDAP security realm authenticates a user by looking up the UserPassword attribute in the LDAP directory and checking its value against a set of passwords in WebLogic Server.

Default: "bind"

Valid values:

• "bind"

• "external"

• "local"
