To create a realm

The Application Server comes preconfigured with three realms: file, certificate, and admin-realm. It is also possible to create ldap, solaris, and custom realms. Generally, you will have one realm of each type on a server, but on the Application Server there are two file realms: file and admin-realm. These are two realms of the same type used for two different purposes. It is also possible to have a different certificate database for each virtual server on your system.

1. In the Admin Console tree component, expand the Configurations node.

2. Select the instance to configure:

   • To configure a particular instance, expand the instance’s config node. For example, the default instance, server, expand the server-config node.

   • To configure the default settings for all instances, expand the default-config node.

3. Expand the Security node.

4. Select the Realms node.
