Weblogic Authorization Provider-->General
Tasks Related Topics Attributes
Overview
Use this page to configure a WebLogic Authorization provider for a security realm. Note that the Administration Console refers to the WebLogic Authorization provider as the Default Authorizer.
Authorization is the process whereby the interactions between users and resources are limited to ensure integrity, confidentiality, and availability. In other words, authorization is responsible for controlling access to resources based on user identity or other information. In the WebLogic Server Security architecture, an Authorization provider is used to provide authorization services.
By default, the WebLogic Authorization provider is configured in the default security realm (myrealm). You can use a custom Authorization provider instead of the WebLogic Authorization provider. For a custom Authorization provider to be available through the WebLogic Server Administration Console, the MBean JAR file for the provider must be in the WL_HOME\lib\mbeantypes directory.
