The Apache Directory Project announces its tenth release of Fortress! Apache Fortress is a computer security access management facility written in Java. Other platforms use the Apache Fortress Rest component. Fortress provides a fine-grained authorization security model using role-based access control semantics. It’s built to scale to many thousands of requests per second on top of a fault-tolerant backend using LDAP and runs in many production environments today.
Since 2.0.1, Fortress supports certain aspects of Attribute-based Access Control. Specifically, dynamic attribute constraints placed on user-role activations.
