JNDI Authentication
JNDI provides the following security-related properties that, if provided by the client, are passed into the WebLogic naming service implementation:
java.naming.security.protocol
java.naming.security.authentication
java.naming.security.principal
java.naming.security.credentials
For all supported versions of WebLogic:
java.naming.security.protocol and java.naming.security.authentication are not used and may be ignored.
java.naming.security.principal and java.naming.security.credentials may be used if a username and password are required to access the JNDI server. If they are not provided by the client, WebLogic uses a default principal value (“guest”) and a default credentials value (“guest”).
If the default values are sufficient to gain access to the deployed EJBs, you do not need to specify the principal and credentials properties. However, if the WebLogic administrator has defined a security policy that requires a specific username and password for accessing the server's EJBs, you must supply those values to
Adapter for Enterprise Javabeans when configuring connections against that server. For information about how to specify the properties, see
Specifying JNDI Credentials.
