3.3.5.1 About the MBean Information File

The MBean information file contains a compiled definition of the data in the MBean Definition File in a form that JMX Model MBeans require. The format of this file is a list of attributes, operations, and notifications, each of which also has a set of descriptor tags that describe that entity. In addition, the MBean itself also has a set of descriptor tags. An example of this format is as follows: MBean + tags attribute1 + tags, attribute2 + tags ... operation1 + tags, operation2 + tags ... notification1 + tags, notification2 + tags ... If desired, you can access this information at runtime by calling the standard JMX server getMBeanInfo method to obtain the ModelMBeanInfo.

3.3.6 SSPI MBean Quick Reference

Based on the list of SSPIs you need to implement as part of developing your custom security provider, locate the required SSPI MBeans you need to extend in Table 3–2 . Using Table 3–3 through Table 3–5 , locate any optional SSPI MBeans you also want to implement for managing your security provider. Note: Be sure to reference the JMX specification to determine how to interpret the returned structure.

Table 3–3 Optional Authentication SSPI MBeans Optional SSPI MBeans Purpose GroupEditor Create a group. If the group already exists, an exception is thrown. GroupMemberLister List a groups members. GroupReader Read data about groups. GroupRemover Remove groups. MemberGroupLister List the groups containing a user or a group. UserEditor Create, edit and remove users. UserPasswordEditor Change a users password. UserReader Read data about users. UserRemover Remove users. Note: The optional Authentication SSPI MBeans shown in Table 3–3 are located in the weblogic.management.security.authentication package. They are also supported in the WebLogic Server Administration Console. For an example of how to implement the optional Authentication SSPI MBeans shown in Table 3–4 , review the code for the Manageable Sample Authentication Provider available at https:codesamples.samplecode.oracle.comservletst racking?id=S224 on the Oracle Technology Network Web site. Table 3–4 Optional Authorization SSPI MBeans Optional SSPI MBeans Purpose PolicyConsumer Indicates that the provider supports policy consumption.
