SecurityConfigurationMBean

Overview

Provides domain-wide security configuration information.

Related MBeans

This section describes attributes that provide access to other MBeans.

CertRevoc

Determines the domain's X509 certificate revocation checking configuration.

A CertRevocMBean is always associated with a domain's security configuration and cannot be changed, although CertRevocMBean attributes may be changed as documented.

DefaultRealm

Returns the default security realm or null if no realm has been selected as the default security realm.

Realms

Returns all the realms in the domain.

Attributes

This section describes the following attributes:

AnonymousAdminLookupEnabled

Returns true if anonymous JNDI access for Admin MBean home is permitted. This is overridden by the Java property -Dweblogic.management.anonymousAdminLookupEnabled.

CachingDisabled

Private property that disables caching in proxies.

ClearTextCredentialAccessEnabled

Returns true if allow access to credential in clear text. This can be overridden by the system property -Dweblogic.management.clearTextCredentialAccessEnabled

CompatibilityConnectionFiltersEnabled

Specifies whether this WebLogic Server domain enables compatiblity with previous connection filters.

This attribute changes the protocols names used when filtering needs to be performed.

ConnectionFilter

The name of the Java class that implements a connection filter (that is, the weblogic.security.net.ConnectionFilter interface). If no class name is specified, no connection filter will be used.

This attribute replaces the deprecated ConnectionFilter attribute on the SecurityMBean.

ConnectionFilterRules

The rules used by any connection filter that implements the ConnectionFilterRulesListener interface. When using the default implementation and when no rules are specified, all connections are accepted. The default implementation rules are in the format: target localAddress localPort action protocols.

This attribute replaces the deprecated ConnectionFilterRules attribute on the SecurityMBean.

ConnectionLoggerEnabled

Specifies whether this WebLogic Server domain should log accepted connections.

This attribute can be used by a system administrator to dynamically check the incoming connections in the log file to determine if filtering needs to be performed.

This attribute replaces the deprecated ConnectionLoggerEnabled attribute on the SecurityMBean.

ConsoleFullDelegationEnabled

Indicates whether the console is enabled for fully delegate authorization.

Credential

The password for the domain. In WebLogic Server version 6.0, this attribute was the password of the system user. In WebLogic Server version 7.0, this attribute can be any string. For the two domains to interoperate, the string must be the same for both domains.

When you set the value of this attribute, WebLogic Server does the following:

1. Encrypts the value.

2. Sets the value of the UserPasswordEncrypted attribute to the encrypted value.

For more information, see:

• getCredentialEncrypted()

CredentialEncrypted

The encrypted password for the domain. In WebLogic Server version 6.0, this attribute was the password of the system user. In WebLogic Server version 7.0, this attribute can be any string. For the two domains to interoperate, the string must be the same for both domains.

To set this attribute, pass an unencrypted string to the MBean server's setAttribute method. WebLogic Server encrypts the value and sets the attribute to the encrypted value.

CrossDomainSecurityEnabled

Indicates whether or not cross-domain security is enabled

DowngradeUntrustedPrincipals

Whether or not to downgrade to anonymous principals that cannot be verified. This is useful for server-server communication between untrusted domains.

EnforceStrictURLPattern

Whether or not the system should enforce strict URL pattern or not.

EnforceValidBasicAuthCredentials

Whether or not the system should allow requests with invalid Basic Authentication credentials to access unsecure resources.

ExcludedDomainNames

Specifies a list of remote domains for which cross-domain check should not be applied.

MBeanInfo

Returns the MBean info for this MBean.

Deprecated.

Name

The user-specified name of this MBean instance.

This name is included as one of the key properties in the MBean's javax.management.ObjectName:
Name=user-specified-name

NodeManagerPassword

The password that the Administration Server uses to communicate with Node Manager when starting, stopping, or restarting Managed Servers.

When you get the value of this attribute, WebLogic Server does the following:

1. Retrieves the value of the NodeManagerPasswordEncrypted attribute.

2. Decrypts the value and returns the unencrypted password as a String.

When you set the value of this attribute, WebLogic Server does the following:

1. Encrypts the value.

2. Sets the value of the NodeManagerPasswordEncrypted attribute to the encrypted value.

Using this attribute (NodeManagerPassword) is a potential security risk because the String object (which contains the unencrypted password) remains in the JVM's memory until garbage collection removes it and the memory is reallocated. Depending on how memory is allocated in the JVM, a significant amount of time could pass before this unencrypted data is removed from memory.

Instead of using this attribute, you should use NodeManagerPasswordEncrypted.

For more information, see:

• getNodeManagerPasswordEncrypted()

NodeManagerPasswordEncrypted

The password that the Administration Server passes to a Node Manager when it instructs the Node Manager to start, stop, or restart Managed Servers.

To set this attribute, use weblogic.management.EncryptionHelper.encrypt() to encrypt the value. Then set this attribute to the output of the encrypt() method.

To compare a password that a user enters with the encrypted value of this attribute, go to the same WebLogic Server instance that you used to set and encrypt this attribute and use weblogic.management.EncryptionHelper.encrypt() to encrypt the user-supplied password. Then compare the encrypted values.

NodeManagerUsername

The user name that the Administration Server uses to communicate with Node Manager when starting, stopping, or restarting Managed Servers.

Notes

Optional information that you can include to describe this configuration.

WebLogic Server saves this note in the domain's configuration file (config.xml) as XML PCDATA. All left angle brackets (<) are converted to the XML entity <. Carriage returns/line feeds are preserved.

Note:

If you create or edit a note from the Administration Console, the Administration Console does not preserve carriage returns/line feeds.

ObjectName

Returns the ObjectName under which this MBean is registered in the MBean server.

Deprecated.

Parent

Return the immediate parent for this MBean

PrincipalEqualsCaseInsensitive

Specifies whether the WebLogic Server principal name is compared using a case insensitive match when the equals method for the principal object is performed.

If this attribute is enabled, matches are case insensitive.

Note: Note that principal comparison is not used by the WebLogic Security Service to determine access to protected resources. This attribute is intended for use with JAAS authorization, which may require case insensitive principal matching behavior.

PrincipalEqualsCompareDnAndGuid

Specifies whether the GUID and DN data in a WebLogic Server principal object are used when the equals method of that object is invoked.

If enabled, the GUID and DN data (if included among the attributes in a WebLogic Server principal object) and the principal name are compared when this method is invoked.

Registered

Returns false if the MBean represented by this object has been unregistered.

Deprecated.

Type

Returns the type of the MBean.

WebAppFilesCaseInsensitive

This property defines the case sensitive URL-pattern matching behavior for security constraints, servlets, filters, virtual-hosts, and so on, in the Web application container and external security policies. Note: This is a Windows-only flag that is provided for backward compatibility when upgrading from pre-9.0 versions of WebLogic Server. On Unix platforms, setting this value to true causes undesired behavior and is not supported. When the value is set to os, the pattern matching will be case- sensitive on all platforms except the Windows file system. Note that on non-Windows file systems, WebLogic Server does not enforce case sensitivity and relies on the file system for optimization. As a result, if you have a Windows Samba mount from Unix or Mac OS that has been installed in case-insensitive mode, there is a chance of a security risk. If so, specify case-insensitive lookups by setting this attribute to true. Note also that this property is used to preserve backward compatibility on Windows file systems only. In prior releases, WebLogic Server was case- insensitive on Windows. As of WebLogic Server 9.0, URL-pattern matching is strictly enforced. During the upgrade of older domains, the value of this parameter is explicitly set to os by the upgrade plug-in to preserve backward compatibility.

Operations

This section describes the following operations:

findDefaultRealm

Finds the default security realm. Returns null if a default security realm is not defined.

Deprecated. 9.0.0.0 Replaced by DefaultRealm

findRealm

Finds a realm by name (that is, by the display name of the realm). Returns null no realm with that name has been defined. Throws a configuration error if there are multiple matches.

Deprecated. 9.0.0.0 Replaced by lookupRealm

findRealms

Returns all the realms in the domain.

Deprecated. 9.0.0.0 Replaced by Realms

freezeCurrentValue

If the specified attribute has not been set explicitly, and if the attribute has a default value, this operation forces the MBean to persist the default value.

Unless you use this operation, the default value is not saved and is subject to change if you update to a newer release of WebLogic Server. Invoking this operation isolates this MBean from the effects of such changes.

Note:

To insure that you are freezing the default value, invoke the restoreDefaultValue operation before you invoke this.

This operation has no effect if you invoke it on an attribute that does not provide a default value or on an attribute for which some other value has been set.

Deprecated. 9.0.0.0

generateCredential

Generates a new encrypted byte array which can be use when calling #setCredentialEncrypted

isSet

Returns true if the specified attribute has been set explicitly in this MBean instance.

restoreDefaultValue

If the specified attribute has a default value, this operation removes any value that has been set explicitly and causes the attribute to use the default value.

Default values are subject to change if you update to a newer release of WebLogic Server. To prevent the value from changing if you update to a newer release, invoke the freezeCurrentValue operation.

This operation has no effect if you invoke it on an attribute that does not provide a default value or on an attribute that is already using the default.

Deprecated. 9.0.0.0

unSet

Restore the given property to its default value.
