Configure the Virtual User Authentication provider

Before you begin

Configure virtual users in the WebLogic Identity Assertion provider, as explained in Enable virtual user authentication. See also Authenticating a User Not Defined in the Identity Store.

To enable virtual user authentication:

If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
In the left pane, select Security Realms and click the name of the realm you are configuring.
Select Providers > Authentication and click New.
The Create a New Authentication Provider page appears.
In the Name field, enter a name for the Authentication provider.
From the Type drop-down list, select VirtualUserAuthenticator and click OK.
In the Authentication Providers table, click Reorder and place the Virtual User Authenticator at the top of the list, then click OK.
In the Authentication Providers table, click the name of the Virtual User Authentication provider.
In the Configuration > Common tab, select SUFFICIENT in the Control Flag list box, and click Save.
To activate these changes, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Activate Changes.
Not all changes take effect immediately—some require a restart (see Use the Change Center).

After you finish

Restart WebLogic Server for your changes to take effect.
