This element specifies the realm name for Basic Authentication (ie: when <auth-method> is set to BASIC).
The realm name is typically displayed by the browser in the login dialog box.
A realm name is not required for FORM based authentication or other authentication methods and therefore has no effect. However, it is still commonly used to document the data in these cases, as there is no description attribute for the <login-config> element.
