Overview

The base MBean for all MBean implementations that manage Authentication providers. If your Authentication provider uses the WebLogic Security SSPI to provide login services, then your MBean must extend weblogic.management.security.authentication.Authenticator. If your Authentication provider uses the WebLogic Security SSPI to provide identity-assertion services, then your MBean must extend weblogic.management.security.authentication.IdentityAsserter.

weblogic.management.security.authentication.AuthenticationProviderMBean
   
Factory Methods No factory methods. Instances of this MBean are created automatically.

    Attributes

    This section describes the following attributes:

     

    Description

    Returns a description of this security provider.

    Each security provider's MBean should set the default value of this read-only attribute to a string that describes the provider. In other words, each security provider's MBean hard-wires its description. There are no conventions governing the contents of the description. It should be a human readable string that gives a brief description of the security provider.

    Each security provider's MBean should set the default value of this read-only attribute to a string that specifies the version of the provider (e.g. 7.3.04). In other words, each security provider's MBean hard-wires its version. There are no conventions governing the contents of the version string.
