Currently we are hardcoded into using our JACC implementation.
This means we can't use third party authorization/security servers
such as Tivoli AM.
The runtime hardcoding is that the installation of the spec
permissions into the policy configuration is mixed in with pushing
our proprietary principal-role mapping into the policy configuration.
The build time hardcoding is that the only proprietary security
configuration we accept is our own xml for principal-role mapping,
and we insist on it being present.
Some steps for this:
1. make separate gbeans for the spec and proprietary access to the
policy configuration. These should be connected by an interface,
and the spec gbean should control the proprietary gbean and pass
it the contextIds in the current application.
2. The security builder should be partly namespace driven, with
the proprietary xml interpretation driven by the namespace.
2.a the base security builder should construct the
ApplicationPolicyConfigurationGBean and hand off to the namespace-
selected gbean for the proprietary stuff.
2.b the proprietary-xml builder should install the "role-mapper"
gbean with the info needed for e.g. principal-role mapping.
When we're done with this we should be able to support e.g. IBM
pluggable JACC implementations that support their role-mapping
capabilities by just writing an xml format and a gbean that pushes
role mapping info into their interfaces. The ibm interfaces are
explained here: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/
v6r0/topic/com.ibm.websphere.express.doc/info/exp/ae/
rsec_jaccspis.html
If anyone knows how other app servers configure the non-spec part
of JACC references would be very much appreciated.
