Provides a set of methods for creating, editing, and removing users. An Authentication provider MBean can optionally implement this MBean. The WebLogic Server Administration Console detects when an Authentication provider implements this MBean and automatically provides a GUI for using these methods.
CSS v4 introduced a new Password Validaton Service to check
password against a set of rules when doing changing password
operations with authentication provider MBeans such as
createUser, changeUserPassword and
resetUserPassword. The rules can be specified through
configuring Password Validation Provider into the security realm,
for further information, see
weblogic.management.security.RealmMBean.
All OOTB authentication providers in CSS will automatically call
the Password Validation Service if their MBeans inherit
UserPasswordEditorMBean interface. The service is also
available for all those customized authentication providers whose
MBeans inherit UserPasswordEditorMBean, to introduce
the Password Validation Service into a customized authentication
proivder, the following approach must be met:
1. In the initialize method of a customized provider
implementation, must retrieve the Password Validation Service and
register the service into a helper class such as
weblogic.security.provider.authentication.AuthenticationSecurityHelper,
the code might like as below:
import com.bea.common.security.service.PasswordValidationService; import com.bea.common.security.legacy.ExtendedSecurityServices; import com.bea.common.security.internal.legacy.helper.PasswordValidationServiceConfigHelper; import weblogic.security.provider.authentication.AuthenticationSecurityHelper; ...... ExtendedSecurityServices extendedSecurityServices = (ExtendedSecurityServices)securityServices; PasswordValidationService serivce = (PasswordValidationService)extendedSecurityServices.getServices(). getService(PasswordValidationServiceConfigHelper.getServiceName(providerMBean.getRealm())); AuthenticationSecurityHelper.getInstance(providerMBean).registerPasswordValidationService(service); ......
2. In the createUser, changeUserPassword and(or)
resetUserPassword methods of a customized authentication
provider MBean, call the helper class to validate the new password
to determine if the new password is valid. The code might be:
import weblogic.security.provider.authentication.AuthenticationSecurityHelper; ..... AuthenticationSecurityHelper.getInstance(providerMBean).validatePassword(userName,password); .....

This section describes the following operations:
Advances the list to the next element in the list.
| Operation Name | "advance" |
| Parameters | Object [] { cursor }
where:
|
| Signature | String [] {
"java.lang.String" } |
| Returns |
void
|
| Exceptions |
|
Used by a user to change his or her password.
| Operation Name | "changeUserPassword" |
| Parameters | Object [] { userName, oldPassword, newPassword }
where:
|
| Signature | String [] {
"java.lang.String",
"java.lang.String",
"java.lang.String" } |
| Returns |
void
|
| Exceptions |
|
Indicates that the caller is finished using the list, and that the resources held on behalf of the list may be released. If the caller traverses through all the elements in the list, the caller need not call this method. In other words, it is used to let the caller close the list without reading each element that is returned.
| Operation Name | "close" |
| Parameters | Object [] { cursor }
where:
|
| Signature | String [] {
"java.lang.String" } |
| Returns |
void
|
| Exceptions |
|
Creates a user and sets the user's password.
| Operation Name | "createUser" |
| Parameters | Object [] { userName, password, description }
where:
|
| Signature | String [] {
"java.lang.String",
"java.lang.String",
"java.lang.String" } |
| Returns |
void
|
| Exceptions |
|
The name of the current item in the list. Returns null if there is no current item.
| Operation Name | "getCurrentName" |
| Parameters | Object [] { cursor }
where:
|
| Signature | String [] {
"java.lang.String" } |
| Returns | String
|
| Exceptions |
|
Gets a user's description.
| Operation Name | "getUserDescription" |
| Parameters | Object [] { userName }
where:
|
| Signature | String [] {
"java.lang.String" } |
| Returns | String

Returns true if there are more objects in the list, and false otherwise.
| Operation Name | "haveCurrent" |
| Parameters | Object [] { cursor }
where:
|
| Signature | String [] {
"java.lang.String" } |
| Returns |
boolean
|
| Exceptions |
|
Returns true if the specified attribute has been set explicitly in this MBean instance.
| Operation Name | "isSet" |
| Parameters | Object [] { propertyName }
where:
|
| Signature | String [] {
"java.lang.String" } |
| Returns |
boolean
|
| Exceptions |
|
Searches for a user name that matches a pattern.
This method returns a cursor that you can pass to the methods
from weblogic.management.utils.NameListerMBean (which
this MBean extends) to iterate through the returned list.
This method does not sort the results.
| Operation Name | "listUsers" |
| Parameters | Object [] { userNameWildcard, maximumToReturn }
where:
|
| Signature | String [] {
"java.lang.String",
