Hello,

I tried to find details in docs and samples, but seems I am quite stupid :) Possibly I missed something improtant? I am currently developing kind of skeleton and guidelines for quite large application to be used for long time - so I want to make things as standard as possible.

Questions are about roles and authorisation/access delimeting.
I understood well (ok, I hope :) ) how authentication works. But what is with authorisation?


Suppose I have some number of roles in authentication xml produced by authentication resource like described here http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/developing/webapps/authentication.html
Is there any standart mechanism to allow access for particular resources / sitemap parts depending upon roles user has? Something like RoleMatcher?


Another question is about authentication xml format - same doc says quite foggy about multiple roles.
would this be correct? :


<authentication>
    <ID>Unique ID of the user in the system</ID>
        <roles>
                <role>rolename1</role>
                <role>rolename2</role>
        </roles>
    <data>
        Any additional optional information can be supplied here.
        This will be stored in the session for later retrieval
    </data>
</authentication>



Any info appreciated.


Andrei Lunyov
