Overview

The base MBean for all security providers.

It includes attributes common to all security providers. Every security provider must implement an MBean that extends this MBean.

If the security provider supports management methods, the management methods cannot be called until the validate method of realm in which the security provider is configured successfully returns. That is, the administrator must completely configure the realm before using the management methods (for example, adding a user).

weblogic.management.security.ProviderMBean
Factory Methods No factory methods. Instances of this MBean are created automatically.

It should be a human readable string that gives a brief description of the security provider.
