Authentication Providers
This page lists the names of the Authentication providers available for a security realm. By default, the WebLogic Authentication provider is configured as the default Authentication provider for the default security realm (myrealm). Choose from the Configure... links to configure new or additional Authentication providers for a security realm. To delete an Authentication provider, click the trash can icon in the corresponding row of the Authentication providers table.
The way you configure multiple Authentication providers can affect the overall outcome of the authentication process, which is especially important for multipart authentication (that is, an authentication sequence that uses more than one Authentication provider). Authentication providers are called in the order in which they are configured. To change the ordering of Authentication providers in a security realm, click the Re-order the Configured Authentication Providers... link. Be aware the way each Authentication provider's Control Flag attribute is set effects the outcome of the authentication process.
