public class AtnProviderDescription
extends ProviderDescription
implements Serializable

This class holds information describing a single SSPI Authentication provider. It is a convenience class, an immutable value object used by ATN management functions.

This class is normally not directly instantiated, but is accessed through the use of the SecurityMgmtHelper.

Method Detail

isDefaultAtnProvider

public boolean isDefaultAtnProvider()

The scheme for who the default provider is multi-tiered:

1. If the system property com.bea.p13n.usermgmt.AuthenticationProviderName, is set, the provider with that name is used. If the system property is set and the provider is not found, a UserManagementException is thrown. This allows you to set a provider server-wide.
2. If a property file named usermgmt-provider.properties is found (using the thread's context classloader, so it could be in APP-INF/classes/, for example), and that file contains the property com.bea.p13n.usermgmt.AuthenticationProviderName, then the provider with that name is used. If the named provider is not found, a UserManagementException is thrown. This can allow you to set an application-specific provider.
3. The provider that implements at least UserReaderMBean and GroupReaderMBean, plus the greatest number of the following additional interfaces. If two providers qualify, the first provider is chosen.
   • UserEditorMBean
   • GroupEditorMBean
   • GroupMemberListerMBean
   • MemberGroupListerMBean
4. The first provider that is an instance of RealmAdapterAuthenticatorMBean (this is 6.x migration mode).
5. If all those fail, throw UserManagementException

true if this provider is the default authentication provider
