For example, an AUTHREALM element can include PROPERTY subelements:
<AUTHREALM name="file"
classname="com.iplanet.ias.security.auth.realm.file.FileRealm">
<PROPERTY name="file" value="instance_dir/config/keyfile>
<PROPERTY name="jaas-context" value="fileRealm">
</AUTHREALM>
The properties that an AUTHREALM element uses depends on the value of the AUTHREALM element's name attribute. The file realm uses file and jaas-context properties. Other realms use different properties.
