credential mapping Providers
A credential mapping provider allows WebLogic Server to log into a remote system on behalf of a subject that has already been authenticated. You must have one credential mapping provider in a security realm, and you can configure multiple credential mapping providers in a security realm.
When one or more credential mapping providers are configured, this credential mapping Providers page displays key information about each of them. To configure a credential mapping provider, click the name of the provider.
