Creating a Realm (Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9 Administration Guide)

Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9 Administration Guide

Creating a Realm

The Application Server comes preconfigured with three realms: file, certificate, and admin-realm. It is also possible to create ldap, solaris, and custom realms. Generally, you will have one realm of each type on a server, but on the Application Server there are two file realms: file and admin-realm. These are two realms of the same type used for two different purposes. It is also possible to have a different certificate database for each virtual server on your system.

To create a realm using the Admin Console, go to Configuration > Security > Realms > New. Enter a name for the realm and specify the class name for the realm you are creating. Class names for different realms are shown in the following table:

Realm Name	Class Name
`file`	`com.sun.enterprise.security.auth.realm.file.FileRealm`
`certificate`	`com.sun.enterprise.security.auth.realm.certificate.CertificateRealm`
`ldap`	`com.sun.enterprise.security.auth.realm.ldap.LDAPRealm`
`solaris`	`com.sun.enterprise.security.auth.realm.solaris.SolarisRealm`
`custom`	Name of login realm class

Add the required properties and any desired optional properties for the realm.
