How did you find the ease of integration?
Thanks - the integration was really easy because there was one class
(well, two classes if you include the anonymous CredentialsMatcher
impl) that I needed to implement.
The excellent part was that I didn't really have to know how the
internals of JSecurity worked - just the few basic concepts/
That's awesome - glad to hear the integration went smoothly!
Anyhow, I'd be interested on reworking some of redback's user and
role management to complement JSecurity. Has anyone started work/
discussed user and role management in JSecurity?
We haven't started any work on user and role management. We've talked
about a project for managing users and roles as being a good
subproject with JSecurity. The ideas that have been thrown around so
far are that there could be some optional interfaces that a Realm
could implement for managing users and roles. Then we could write a
basic webapp that used those interfaces in order to create roles,
users, permissions, etc.
The optional interfaces would probably be added to the JSecurity core,
but the UI would be a separate subproject. This could be *extremely*
useful for helping projects get off the ground. How many times have
you had to write an interface for managing your users and roles.
Even if users didn't want to use the management UI, the extra
"mutable" Realm interfaces could help people quickly write management
code for some of the built-in realms.
