Supported Realms

The following realms are supported in the current release of the Enterprise Server:

• file – Stores user information in a file. This is the default realm when you first install the Enterprise Server.

• ldap – Stores user information in an LDAP directory.

• jdbc – Stores user information in a database.

  In the JDBC realm, the server gets user credentials from a database. The Enterprise Server uses the database information and the enabled JDBC realm option in the configuration file. For digest authentication, a JDBC realm should be created with jdbcDigestRealm as the JAAS context.

• certificate – Sets up the user identity in the Enterprise Server security context, and populates it with user data obtained from cryptographically verified client certificates.

The solaris realm is not supported in GlassFish v3 Prelude.
