Default Credential Mapping --> General
Tasks Additional Documentation Attributes
Use this tab to configure a Credential Mapping provider for a security realm. Credential mapping is the process whereby a legacy system's authentication and authorization mechanisms are used to obtain an appropriate set of credentials to authenticate users to a target resource. In the WebLogic Server security architecture, a Credential Mapping provider is used to provide credential mapping services and bring new types of credentials into the WebLogic Server environment.
By default, the WebLogic Credential Mapping provider is configured. You can use a Custom Credential Mapping provider instead of the WebLogic Credential Mapping provider. For a Custom Credential Mapping provider to be available in the WebLogic Server Administration Console, the MBean JAR file for the provider must be in the WL_HOME\lib\mbeantypes directory.
During application deployment, WebLogic Server reads credential mappings from the weblogic-ra.xml file. This information is used to populate the WebLogic Credential Mapping provider. Any changes made to the credential mappings through the WebLogic Server Administration Console are not persisted to the weblogic-ra.xml file. Before you deploy the application again (which will happen if you redeploy it through the WebLogic Server Administration Console, modify it on disk, or restart WebLogic Server), you need enable the Ignore Security Data in Deployment Descriptors attribute on the General tab for a security realm.
