#### To create a JACC provider

1. Expand the Configurations node.
2. In the Cluster and Enterprise profile, select the instance to configure:
   - To configure a particular instance, expand the instance’s config node. For example, the default instance, `server`, expand the `server-config` node.
   - To configure the default settings for all instances, expand the `default-config` node.
3. Expand the Security node.
4. Select the JACC Providers node.
5. On the JACC Providers page, click New.
6. On the Create JACC Provider page, enter the following:

   - Name – The name to use to identify this provider.

   - Policy Configuration – The name of the class that implements the policy configuration factory. The default provider uses `com.sun.enterprise.security.provider.PolicyConfigurationFactoryImpl`.

   - Policy Provider – The name of the class that implements the policy factory. The default provider uses `com.sun.enterprise.security.provider.PolicyWrapper`.

7. Add properties to the provider by clicking the Add Property button.

   Valid properties include `repository`, which specifies the directory containing the policy file. For the default provider, this value is `${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/generated/policy`.

8. Click OK to save this configuration, or click Cancel to quit without saving.
