Data type: String
Default: Required
Range: Required, Requisite, Sufficient and Optional

Required
The LoginModule is required to succeed. If it succeeds or fails, authentication still continues to proceed down the LoginModule list for each realm.
Requisite
The LoginModule is required to succeed. If it succeeds, authentication continues down the LoginModule list in the realm entry. If it fails, control immediately returns to the application--that is, authentication does not proceed down the LoginModule list.
Sufficient
The LoginModule is not required to succeed. If it does succeed, control immediately returns to the application--again, authentication does not proceed down the LoginModule list. If it fails, authentication continues down the list.
Optional
The LoginModule is not required to succeed. If it succeeds or fails, authentication still continues to proceed down the LoginModule list.

Specify additional options by clicking Custom Properties under Additional Properties. These name and value pairs are passed to the login modules during initialization. This process is one of the mechanisms that is used to passed information to login modules.
