Verify imported roles

Before you begin

This task applies only when you are using the Advanced security model to import roles from a Web application or EJB deployment descriptor. To import roles, see Import security data from deployment descriptors.

To verify imported roles:

For Web applications:
1. Open the weblogic.xml deployment descriptor for the Web application and record the content of any <security-role-assignment> elements, specifically focusing on the <role-name> and <principal-name> subelements.
  Note: If the deployment descriptor uses the <externally-defined> element for a Web application, no scoped roles are actually defined; therefore no scoped roles can be imported.
2. Use the Administration console to view the security roles for the Web application. See Create scoped security roles.
For EJBs:
1. Open the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptor for the EJB and record the content of any <security-role-assignment> elements, specifically focusing on the <role-name> and <principal-name> subelements.
  Note: If the deployment descriptor uses the <externally-defined> element for an EJB, no scoped roles are actually defined; therefore no scoped roles for the EJB can be copied.
2. Use the Administration console to view the security roles for the EJB. See Create scoped security roles.
