Interface DBMSAuthenticatorMBean

All Superinterfaces:

AuthenticationProviderMBean, AuthenticatorMBean, GroupMembershipHierarchyCacheMBean, ProviderMBean

All Known Subinterfaces:

CustomDBMSAuthenticatorMBean, ReadOnlySQLAuthenticatorMBean, SQLAuthenticatorMBean

public interface DBMSAuthenticatorMBean
extends AuthenticatorMBean, GroupMembershipHierarchyCacheMBean

This MBean contains attributes for DBMS Authentication providers.

Deprecation of MBeanHome and Type-Safe Interfaces

This is a type-safe interface for a WebLogic Server MBean, which you can import into your client classes and access through weblogic.management.MBeanHome. As of 9.0, the MBeanHome interface and all type-safe interfaces for WebLogic Server MBeans are deprecated. Instead, client classes that interact with WebLogic Server MBeans should use standard JMX design patterns in which clients use the javax.management.MBeanServerConnection interface to discover MBeans, attributes, and attribute types at runtime.
