public interface ProviderMBean
extends StandardInterface, DescriptorBean

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).

Method Detail

getDescription

String getDescription()
Returns a description of this security provider.

Each security provider's MBean should set the default value of this read-only attribute to a string that describes the provider. In other words, each security provider's MBean hard-wires its description. There are no conventions governing the contents of the description. It should be a human readable string that gives a brief description of the security provider.


getVersion

String getVersion()
Returns this security provider's version.

Each security provider's MBean should set the default value of this read-only attribute to a string that specifies the version of the provider (e.g. 7.3.04). In other words, each security provider's MBean hard-wires its version. There are no conventions governing the contents of the version string.


getRealm

RealmMBean getRealm()
Returns the realm that contains this security provider. Returns null if this security provider is not contained by a realm.


getName

String getName()
The name of this configuration. WebLogic Server uses an MBean to implement and persist the configuration.

Specified by:
getName in interface StandardInterface
Default Value:
"Provider"
