Configure Oracle's WebLogic Server to use one or more external authentication providers to authenticate users for STA. Use the WebLogic Administration console for all STA authentication provider configuration tasks in WebLogic Server.
For most sites, the DefaultAuthenticator may be the only authentication provider needed for STA. You can create and maintain STA usernames through the STA user interface, and the DefaultAuthenticator will authenticate and authorize users as they log in. For some sites, however, it may be desirable to use external providers, in addition to the DefaultAuthenticator, to authenticate STA users. This is useful if your site has many users with credentials already defined on external authentication servers. You can configure one or more external authentication providers for STA.
WARNING:
Only experienced IT administrators who have a thorough knowledge of LDAP, Microsoft Active Directory, RACF, X.500 distinguished names, and network IT Security administration should attempt making changes to STA Weblogic functionality. Incorrect or incomplete configurations can result in creating security vulnerabilities, performance issues, denial-of-service, erratic application behavior, loss of data, or STA functionality failure requiring re-installation of the STA application.See Also:
