This page allows you to view the authentication realms for this instance of the Sun ONE Application Server. From this page you can delete an existing realm, or access the Create/Edit Security Realm page to create a new realm or edit an existing realm.
A realm, also called a security policy domain or security domain, is a scope over which a common security policy is defined and enforced. The methodology for creating users and defining groups is specific to the realm being used. Supported realms in Sun ONE Application Server are:
file: Users and groups are listed in the keyfile, which is located in the instance_dir/config directory. This is the initial default realm.
ldap: Users and groups are stored in an external LDAP directory.
certificate: User identifies are set up in the Sun ONE Applicaton Server's security context and populated with user data from the client certificate.
solaris: Users and groups are stored in the underlying Solaris user database, as determined by the system's PAM configuration.
Custom: You can create a custom realm that complies with the Java Authentication Authorization Service (JAAS) specification for Java 2 SDK, v1.4. A sample application is supplied with the Sun ONE Application Server. Refer to the Sun ONE Application Server Developer's Guide for additional information.
The Sun ONE Application Server does not provide administration capabilities for creating users and groups for the external realms (ldap and solaris). Consult the documentation for these products for details.
