Andrea,
  I don't think this is what I am looking for.  I am trying to manage my 
authorization to various layers.  Currently it is all file based system in 
geoserver...I want it to modify to look at a database instead.


The other way is to write a wrapper around geoserver and manage the security in 
there.

Thanks
Ashok

Andrea,
   I was trying to find out a way to modify the ACL from file based to database 
based in geoserver.  When I was googling around I came across the this link 
(http://geo-solutions.blogspot.com/2012/01/developers-corner-introducing-database.html).
  The page says that documentation is available on the geoserver website, but I 
did not find anything.  Can you point me to the right documentation.

Here: http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/data/database/sqlsession.html

Not sure if that is what you're looking for though. The above handles the case 
in which the access control is performed inside the database,
and the scripts make sure the geoserver user is sent down to the database.
If you are looking instead for ways to manage the service and data security 
rules in GeoServer, they are not exposed via REST at the time
of writing (that I know of, at least).

Cheers
Andrea
