Specifying the Policy Domain to Use for
Authentication 
Use
To apply the authentication mechanism to your application, you must also specify which policy domains on the AS Java use this authentication, for example, either the root domain for the application or a set of sub-domains. For more information about policy domains, see Configuring Authentication.
For this tutorial, you will specify that the authentication applies to the application’s domain, which is /QuickCarRental. Other applications running on the AS Java will not have access to the user’s authentication information.
If all applications running on the AS Java are to use the authentication, then specify the wildcard entry /*.
