Overview

Use this tab to specify the security realm to be used with the Caching realm, configure an Auditing provider, and disable the guest user for a WebLogic domain. This tab is used by WebLogic Server deployments using Compatibility security.

The Auditing provider installed from this tab must be an implementation of the weblogic.security.audit interface. The weblogic.security.audit interface is deprecated in WebLogic Server 7.0.

The guest user is automatically configured in Compatibility security. When authorization is not required, WebLogic Server assigns the guest identity to a client, thus giving the client access to any resources that are available to the guest user. A client can log in as the guest user by entering the guest username and password when prompted by a Web browser or by supplying the guest username and password in a Java client. By default, the guest account is enabled. For a more secure deployment, BEA Systems recommends disabling the guest user.

Note: The guest user in not supported in WebLogic Server 7.0.
