### Creating the solaris Realm

The `solaris` realm gets user and group information from the underlying Solaris user database, as determined by the system’s configuration. The `solaris` realm invokes the underlying PAM infrastructure for authenticating. If the configured PAM modules require root privileges, the domain must run as root to use this realm. For details, see the Solaris documentation for security services.

The `solaris` realm has one required property, `jaas-context` that specifies the type of login module to use. The property value must be `solarisRealm`.

Note –

The `solaris` realm is supported only for Solaris 9 or later.
