services must extend. This MBean provides a ControlFlag to
determine whether the Authentication provider is a REQUIRED,
REQUISITE, SUFFICIENT, or OPTIONAL part of the login sequence.
The base MBean for all MBean implementations that manage
Authentication providers. If your Authentication provider uses the
WebLogic Security SSPI to provide login services, then your MBean
must extend
weblogic.management.security.authentication.Authenticator
.
If your Authentication provider uses the WebLogic Security SSPI to
provide identity-assertion services, then your MBean must extend
weblogic.management.security.authentication.IdentityAsserter
.
