weblogic.security.providers.authentication
Interface VirtualUserAuthenticatorMBean

All Superinterfaces:

AuthenticationProviderMBean, AuthenticatorMBean, DescriptorBean, ProviderMBean, SettableBean, StandardInterface

public interface VirtualUserAuthenticatorMBean
extends StandardInterface, DescriptorBean, AuthenticatorMBean

The MBean that represents configuration attributes for the Virtual User Authentication provider. The Virtual User Authentication provider enables Weblogic Server to authenticate users based on Identity Assertion only. That is, authenticated virtual users are not found in the user store, and all principals and credentials are derived from the given token.

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.
