Typically, every application (for use with multiple users) has the need
for handling basic authentication and authorization. In addition, we
also inevitably find ourselves trying to manage user logins, their
passwords, what organization they belong to and etc.
What I'm proposing is a set of services to enable:
1. User management-- tasks performed by admin on user behalf or by user
on their own information
Creating users
Updating user information (name, etc)
(Re)setting of passwords
Disabling users
Enabling disabled users
2. Organization Management-- administrative management of organizations
for system
Orgs are just umbrellas to associate users with
3. Role Management--administrative tasks for associating groups and
users with security roles
4. Permission Management-- administrative tasks for managing
permissions
Creating permissions for services (based on JAAS)
Associating Permissions to roles
Removing Permissions
The idea is to creat reusable Avalon services which can be leveraged by
any Avalon compliant application. Yes, there are tons of web-based
solutions, but I have yet to find anything meant to simply run in the
context of avalon containers.
And that is pretty much what I'd scoped out thus far. We had a very
similiar model in our avalon container at my last job, and it certainly
facilitated rapid app development. If enough of these types of services
are developed, most apps are able to get up to speed very quickly and
focus on what they are supposed to do rather than spend all their
recreating infrastructure that should already exist.
