The UNIX security realm executes a small native program, wlauth, to look up users and groups and to authenticate users on the basis of their UNIX login names and passwords. The UNIX security realm can only be used on the Solaris and Linux platforms. Use this tab to define a name for the realm and the name of the program used to authenticate users in the UNIX security realm.

When using the UNIX security realm, you must configure a Caching realm. When configuring the Caching realm, select the UNIX security realm as the Basic realm. The Basic Realm attribute defines the association between the Caching realm and the UNIX security realm.

To use the UNIX security realm, you need to use Compatibility security. The use of the UNIX security realm is deprecated in WebLogic Server 7.0.
