Conf. a Win2K Security Realm on WebLogic

Question

     Hi! I'm having some problems configuring a security realm in WebLogic
server 6.0sp1.
     I'd like that WebLogic use the Windows2000 security realm as the
default security (it can be used as the secondary security realm
if it's the only way).     
We've been trying to make it work for the last two (business) days
with no hope of being successfull at all.
     We are using the BEA documentation 'Managing Security' as reference,
and we have some doubts about what's in there.
First doubt:     The documentation says that we need to create new
security realm of the type Windows NT. OK, we did it. But we are
not sure about how to fill the filed Primary Domain. The documentation
says to put the host and port of the computer where User and Groups
are defined for the NT domain. I'm using the same computer for
both (NT domain and Web Logic), so I put the host name (babalu).
Wich port should I put?
Second doubt:     The documentation says to create a systerm user on
the NT domain using NT administrative tools, names it 'system'
and set some stuff for it. But windows 2000 already has a user
with that name (SYSTE, but capitalized) and the property that I
should set on it doesn't exist! By the way, on the system user
user that windows2000 has I wasn't able to set any property.
Last doubt (maybe should be the first one) : Does WebLogic 6.0sp1
support Security Realms from Windows 2000? Or I need to download
another plugin or somethign like that?
     Thanks for Reading and (hope) Answering my qusetions!

Answer 1

Hi! Thanks for the answer. I'll try to run WebLogic as a service.
In fact, I tried it before but I wasn't able to. I started the
service by hand, but I wasn't able to access the server. So, I
click on the 'remove web logic as service'(something like that)
in the WebLogic program group. Ok, it was removed. But when I tried
to put it back I didn't find no funny button to help me! Could
you help me with that?
Another thing. If I use NT Realm as a Caching Realm I'll be
able to see the NT user and users groups with the Web Logic management
GUI ?
Thanks once again,

Hi,
By saying win2k I am assuming you mean creating an NT
realm.
Do not bother specifying a port, just put the server name.
You have to ensure that you are running the weblogic server
as
a NT service if you want to use the NTrealm.
Make sure under Caching Realm you specify the NTrealm.
That should be it.
Hope this helps.
