Specifying a Security Realm
Administration Guide 14-5
Maintaining the secrecy of WebLogic passwords is critical to keeping your WebLogic
Server deployment and data secure. For your protection, BEA recommends keeping
the password of WebLogic Server secret.
Specifying a Security Realm
This section describes configuring a security realm for your WebLogic Server
deployment. For an introduction of security realms and how they are used in
WebLogic Server, see Security Realms in Programming WebLogic Security. The
following sections describe specifying a security realm:
n Configuring the File Realm
n Configuring the Caching Realm
n Configuring the LDAP Security Realm
n Configuring the Windows NT Security Realm
n Configuring the UNIX Security Realm
n Configuring the RDBMS Security Realm
n Installing a Custom Security Realm
n Migrating Security Realms
Configuring the File Realm
By default WebLogic Server is installed with the File realm in place. Before using the
File realm, you need to define several attributes that govern the use of the File realm.
You set these attributes on the Filerealm tab in the Security window of the
Administration Console.
The following table describes each attribute on the Filerealm tab.
