## weblogic.security.acl
Interface BasicRealm

All Known Subinterfaces:
  DynamicUserAcl, ListableRealm, ManageableRealm

Deprecated. Deprecated in WebLogic Server 7.0. Replaced by Pluggable Security Infrastructure.

public interface BasicRealm

BasicRealm provides a minimal interface for realms. Different implementations of the security-related interfaces User, Group, Permission, and Acl are organized into Realms. BasicRealm is extended by ListableRealm and ManageableRealm, which add the ability to list all instances managed by the realm and the ability to create and destroy instances.
