Realm Adapter Authentication Provider-->General

Tasks     Related Topics    Attributes

Overview

The Realm Adapter Authentication provider allows you to use 6.x security realms and their data stores with the WebLogic security providers in WebLogic Server 7.0. The Realm Adapter Authentication provider also allows you to use implementations of the weblogic.security.acl.CertAuthenticator class with WebLogic Server 7.0.

The Identity Assertion provider in the Realm Adapter Authentication provider supports only X.509 tokens. This token type provides backward compatibility for implementations of the weblogic.security.acl.CertAuthenticator class.

Attribute Label

Description

Value Constraints

Name

The name of this configuration. WebLogic Server uses an MBean to implement and persist the configuration.

MBean: weblogic.security.
providers.realmadapter.
RealmAdapterAuthenticatorMBean

Attribute: Name


Description

A short description of the Realm Adapter Authentication provider.

MBean: weblogic.security.
providers.realmadapter.
RealmAdapterAuthenticatorMBean

Attribute: Description

Default: "Realm Adapter for Authentication and Identity Assertion"

Version

this security provider's version.

Each security provider's mbean should set the default value of this read-only attribute to a string that specifies the version of the provider (eg. 7.3.04). In other words, each security provider's mbean hard-wires its version. There are no conventions on the contents of the version string.

MBean: weblogic.security.
providers.realmadapter.
RealmAdapterAuthenticatorMBean

Attribute: Version

Default: "1.0"

Control Flag

Determines how the login sequence uses the Authentication provider.

A REQUIRED value specifies this LoginModule must succeed. Even if it fails, authentication proceeds down the list of LoginModules for the configured Authentication providers. This setting is the default.

A REQUISITE value specifies this LoginModule must succeed. If other Authentication providers are configured and this LoginModule succeeds, authentication proceeds down the list of LoginModules. Otherwise, control is return to the application.

A SUFFICIENT value specifies this LoginModule need not succeed. If it does succeed, return control to the application. If it fails and other Authentication providers are configured, authentication proceeds down the LoginModule list.

An OPTIONAL value specifies this LoginModule need not succeed. Whether it succeeds or fails, authentication proceeds down the LoginModule list.

MBean: weblogic.security.
providers.realmadapter.
RealmAdapterAuthenticatorMBean
