    Realm

    Returns the realm that contains this security provider. Returns null if this security provider is not contained by a realm.

       
    Privileges Read only    
    Type RealmMBean
    Relationship type: Reference.

    Attributes

    This section describes the following attributes:

     

    ActiveTypes

    Returns the token types that the identity assertion provider is currently configured to process.

       
    Privileges Read/Write    
    Type class java.lang.String[]

     

    Base64DecodingRequired

    Returns whether the tokens that are passed to the Identity Assertion provider will be will base64 decoded first. If false then the server will not base64 decode the token before passing it to the identity asserter. This defaults to true for backwards compatibility but most providers will probably want to set this to false.

       
    Privileges Read/Write    
    Type boolean
    Default Value true

     

    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.

       
    Privileges Read only    
    Type java.lang.String
    Redeploy or Restart required Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.

     

    Name of

    Name of configuration. WebLogic Server uses an MBean to implement and persist the configuration.

       
    Privileges Read only    
    Type java.lang.String
    Default Value Provider
    Redeploy or Restart required Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.

     

    SupportedTypes

    Returns the list of token types supported by the Identity Assertion provider.

    To see a list of default token types, refer the Javadoc for weblogic.security.spi.IdentityAsserter

       
    Privileges Read only    
    Type class java.lang.String[]
    Redeploy or Restart required Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.

     

    Version

    Returns this security provider's version.

    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.

       
    Privileges Read only    
    Type java.lang.String
    Redeploy or Restart required Changes take effect after you redeploy the module or restart the server.
