Overview

Use this tab to add users to WebLogic Authentication provider. Users are entities that can be authenticated in a security realm (such as myrealm). A user can be a person or a software entity, such as a Java client. Each user is given a unique identity within the security realm. The minimum password length for users is 8 characters. As a system administrator, you must guarantee that no two users in the same system are identical. For more efficient management, BEA recommends adding users to groups.

Note: Users and groups must have unique names.

All the users defined for a security realm are listed in the Users table on the Users tab. If a user account becomes locked, a Details link appears in the Users table. The Details tab describes the security violation for the user. For more information, see Unlocking a User Account.
