Overview

Use this tab to configure an Auditing provider for the Compatibility realm and to disable the guest user for a WebLogic domain. This tab applies to WebLogic Server deployments using Compatibility Security.

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

The guest user is automatically provided in Compatibility security. When authorization is not required, WebLogic Server assigns the guest identity to an 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 guest as the username and password when prompted by a Web browser or in a Java client. By default, the guest account is disabled. For a more secure deployment, BEA recommends running WebLogic Server with the guest account disabled.
