Configuring Authentication Using WebLogic Internal Users/Groups
The following steps can be used to create users and groups directly in the WebLogic default security realm.
1. Login to the WebLogic Administration Console
2. In the Domain Structure pane, click on Security Realms
3. Click on the default security realm (typically called myrealm).
4. Click on the Users and Groups tab, and then click on the Groups tab.
5. Click on the New button to create a new group.
6. Enter the following group properties:
Name: nms-user (or other group with nms configured roles). nms-service is also required for the "publisher.ejb-user" configured in the build.properties file.
Description: asGroup membership for NMS login.
Provider: DefaultAuthenticator
7. For each user to be created, click on the Users tab, and press the New button to create a new user. Enter the following user properties:
Name: juser
Description: Joe User
Provider: DefaultAuthenticator
Password: *****
Confirm Password: *****
Note: User names must be unique. Passwords must contain at least one special character.
8. For each user created, click on that user name in the list of users. Click the Groups tab, select the nmsuser group from the list of available groups, and move it to the Chosen list by using the > button. Click Save.
It is recommend that the credentials used to authenticate SwService (and other external adapters) be configured in the internal DefaultAuthenticator. Additionally, this provider should be configured to be the first location used to avoid potential performance problems with latency issues on network based directory services.
