Q2:
What is permitter authentication?
A2:
This kind of authentication uses identity assertion instead of user ID and password. Identity assertion uses tokens that are client-supplied and are associated with user names.
Q3:
What happens if the classpath for the database driver is not set in the DOS window from which you are attempting to start the WebLogic Server?
A3:
If you don't have any elements configured that use the database drivers, you won't have any problems. However, if you have any WebLogic Server elements, like datasources or connection pools, configured, then you will get a weblogic.ejb20.WLDeploymentException stating that those elements could not be activated.
