    Description

    Audit Logging

    Select to enable audit logging. If enabled, the server will load and run all the audit modules specified in the Audit Modules setting. If disabled, the server does not access audit modules. Disabled by default.

    Default Realm

    The active (default) realm the server uses for authentication. Applications use this realm unless they specify a different realm in their deployment descriptor. All configured realms appear in the list. The initial default realm is the file realm.

    Anonymous Role

    The name for the default or anonymous role. The anonymous role is assigned to all users. Applications can use this role in their deployment descriptors to grant authorization to anyone.

    Default Principal

    Specifies the default user name. The server uses this when no principal is provided. If you enter a value in this field, enter a corresponding value in the Default Principal Password field.

    This attribute is not required for normal server operation.

    Default Principal Password

    Password of the default principal specified in the Default Principal field.

    This attribute is not required for normal server operation.

    JACC

    Class name of a configured JACC provider. See "Creating a JACC Provider" for Information on adding JACC providers.

    Audit Modules

    List of audit module provider classes, delimited by commas. A module listed here must already be configured. If Audit Logging is enabled, this setting must list audit modules. By default, the server uses an audit module named default. For information on creating new audit modules, see "Creating an Audit Module".
