## weblogic.security.spi
Interface DeployableAuthorizationProvider

All Superinterfaces:
  AuthorizationProvider, SecurityProvider

Deprecated. 9.0.0.0 Replaced by `DeployableAuthorizationProviderV2`

    public interface DeployableAuthorizationProvider

extends AuthorizationProvider

An Authorization provider that supports deploying policies on behalf of Web application and EJB deployment needs to implement this interface.

A policy states which roles are allowed to perform particular actions on a resource (for example, who is allowed to call a particular method on a certain EJB).

When a Web application or EJB is deployed, policies need to be created. Similarly, when the Web application or EJB is re/hot deployed, the policies need to be updated. And, when the Web application or EJB is undeployed, the policies should be removed. This work needs to be done by an Authorization provider.

Not all Authorization providers need to support this interface. However, in a realm, at least one of the Authorization providers must support this interface. Otherwise, it is impossible to deploy Web applications and EJBs. To help with this, there are two MBeans associated with Authorization providers: one for providers who support deployment and one for those that do not support deployment. The MBean for deployment has an attribute that indicates whether this provider should be used for deployment. This way, when the realm is configured, it is possible to detect illegal configurations (for example, none of the Authorization providers support Web application/EJB deployment).

Method Detail

### deployPolicy

    void deployPolicy(Resource resource,
                      String[] roleNames)
                      throws ResourceCreationException

  Deprecated.
  Deploys a policy (that is, creates a policy on behalf of a deployed Web application or EJB). If the policy already exists, it is removed and replaced by this policy.

  Parameters:
    `resource` - the `Resource` object to which the policy applies
    `roleNames` - a String array of roles (within this application) that are in this policy. (For example, for a Web application, the `<role-name>` from the `<auth-constraint>` portion of the `web.xml` deployment descriptor file.)
  Throws:
    `ResourceCreationException` - if an unexpected error occurs while deploying the policy for the specified resource

### undeployPolicy

    void undeployPolicy(Resource resource)
                        throws ResourceRemovalException

  Deprecated.
  Undeploys a policy (that is, deletes a policy on behalf of an undeployed Web application or EJB). This method is a no-op if the policy does not exist.

  Parameters:
    `resource` - the `Resource` object to which the policy applies
  Throws:
    `ResourceRemovalException` - if an unexpected error occurs while undeploying the specified resource
