How to specify the security policy "Allow access to everyone" for security role in Deployment descriptor

Question

Hi,
I am migrating a web application from Websphere to Weblogic. The web application has a security role defined in web.xml (Use LDAP for authentication).
security-role>
        <description>Authenticated</description>
        <role-name>Authenticated</role-name>
    </security-role>
This role is mapped to a special subject "All authenticated user in appliation realm" in WAS.
In weblogic, I have the following setting in weblogic.xml
<wls:security-role-assignment>
        <wls:role-name>Authenticated</wls:role-name>
        <wls:externally-defined />
    </wls:security-role-assignment>
And after deploy the application, have to manually add a security role and add the security policy "Allow access to everyone" to this role.
I am wondering if this setting can be specified in  for example weblogic.xml so just deploy web applicaiton using deployment descriptor, and I don't need write script to do that .
Thanks

Hi,
You need to have Back End support to achieve this. In Back End you need to create two groups . You need to know what joins has to be made for which group (which is more important) and also make session variable for the userrole (with SQL supporting it). In the BMM layer, we need to put the security join conditions in the 'where clause'.
And make a common report. User loggin in with the respective userid will have userrole and joins assigned in the Back end. And they will be viewing the report according to their access.
Hope this will solve your problem.
