Weblogic 9.0b security provider

Question

Hello, I am looking for porting security provider developed in Weblogic 8.1.3, to 9.0 b. But in the product documentation the related section is stated as "(not for beta)".
What does it mean? If it means "available soon", when will it be.

Answer 1

Hi,
I am having problems upgrading my 7.0 security providers.
I have set my enviroment as stated in the documents but when I issue the command:
java weblogic.Upgrade -mode silent -type securityproviders
in the directory holding the security provider jar files (or the GUI equivalent), I get the following log messages:
<feb 02, 2005 4:00:44 PM CET> <INFO > <Upgrade> <BEA-800000> <Started the Security Provider Upgrade
process, this may take a while ...>
<feb 02, 2005 4:00:44 PM CET> <INFO > <Upgrade> <BEA-800000> <Migrating old security provider jars f
rom D:\tmp\.>
<feb 02, 2005 4:00:44 PM CET> <INFO > <Upgrade> <BEA-800000> <No MDF's (.xml's) found in the old sec
urity provider jar with name pseAuthenticator.jar>
<feb 02, 2005 4:00:44 PM CET> <INFO > <Upgrade> <BEA-800000> <No Security Provider jars have been Up
graded>
<feb 02, 2005 4:00:44 PM CET> <INFO > <Upgrade> <BEA-800000> <>
I.e., the upgrade utility does not recognize the xml file in the jar. However, it's really there, at root level, with the name PseAuthenticator.xml and with the following contents:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<!DOCTYPE MBeanType SYSTEM "commo.dtd">
<MBeanType
Name = "PostenSeAuthenticator"
DisplayName = "PostenSeAuthenticator"
Package = "se.posten.pse.framework.security.internal.authentication.weblogic"
Extends = "weblogic.management.security.authentication.Authenticator"
PersistPolicy = "OnUpdate"
Description = "The MBean that represents configuration attributes for the PseAuthentication"
>
<MBeanAttribute
Name = "ProviderClassName"
Type = "java.lang.String"
Writeable = "false"
Default = ""se.posten.pse.framework.security.internal.authentication.weblogic.AuthenticationProviderImpl""
Description = "The name of the Java class used to load the Posten.se
Authentication provider."
/>
<MBeanAttribute
Name = "Description"
Type = "java.lang.String"
Writeable = "false"
Default = ""Provider that performs authentication from the Pse DB""
Description = "A short description of the Posten.se Authentication provider."
/>
<MBeanAttribute
Name = "Version"
Type = "java.lang.String"
Writeable = "false"
Default = ""1.0""
Description = "The version number of the Posten.se Authentication provider."
/>
</MBeanType>
Also, the stated class is present in the jar. What am I doing wrong?
Kind Regards
