Hi,
We are leveraging geode security-manager implementation for
authentication/authz for authentication we use active directory and for
Authorization we have roles like DATA:READ etc in database. Now we would
like to store those roles into geode regions itself to avoid operational
overhead of keeping roles into database. My question is if we create a
geode region like say Roles and store the roles there then how should we
go about accessing those roles? Use ClientCacheFactory to get roles or
Functions since this will run on server side. I am not sure as I have not
tried this it may work or not but in the init () method I can put the logic
to initialize ClientCache and then proceed further. Also I should have the
ability to pickup the roles on the fly if a new role is added.
Or try something like this in init() method.
CacheFactory.getAnyInstance().createClientRegionFactory(ClientRegionShortcut.PROXY).create("region-name")
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Ashish
