Configure Web applications for JASPIC

Before you begin

Before you can configure a Web application for Java Authentication Service Provider Interface for Containers (JASPIC), you must first:

After you have installed a Web application as a WAR archive or exploded directory, it is displayed in the Administration Console Deployments table, where you can configure JASPIC properties for this Web application.

The Java Authentication Service Provider Interface for Containers (JASPIC) specification (Java Authentication Service Provider Interface for Containers) defines a service provider interface (SPI) by which Authentication Configuration Providers that implement message authentication mechanisms can be integrated in server Web application message processing containers or runtimes.

To configure JASPIC properties for this Web application:

  1. If you have not already done so, in the Change Center of the Administration Console, click Lock & Edit (see Use the Change Center).
  2. In the left pane of the Console, select Deployments.

    A table that lists the deployments currently installed on WebLogic Server appears in the right pane. The Type column specifies whether a deployment is an Enterprise application, a Web application, or an EJB module.

  3. In the Deployments table, select the Web application you want to configure.
  4. Select Security > JASPIC to view and change the JASPIC properties.

    By default, JASPIC is disabled for Web applications. To enable JASPIC for this Web application, select one of the existing Authentication Configuration Providers from the drop-down list.

  5. Click Save to save any changes.
  6. Enter the path to the deployment plan file and click OK to save the changes to the deployment plan.
  7. Redeploy the Web application or restart the server.
  8. 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).
