# Blind Trust Manager Provider

The blind trust manager provider always trusts any certificate that is presented to it, regardless of its issuer, subject, and validity dates.

Use the blind trust manager provider only for testing purposes, because it allows clients to use forged certificates and authenticate as virtually any user in the server.

## Parent

The Blind Trust Manager Provider object inherits from [Trust Manager Provider](objects-trust-manager-provider.html).

## Blind Trust Manager Provider properties

You can use configuration expressions to set property values at startup time. For details, see [Property value substitution](expressions.html).
