Common Security Framework

The OrderWare Common Security Framework provides a common, distributed, standards-based authentication and authorization service for all OrderWare applications.

The Security Framework contains the following modules:

• Principal Management
• Privilege Management
• Permission Management
• Authentication
• Authorization

Principals are generally users, roles or groups that exist in the enterprise.   A Privilege generally represents something that requires authorization within a business process or a web application.   A Permission is the association between the Principal and a Privilege that either grants or restricts the users access.

Based on JAAS, this security framework can easily provide or be integrated into a single sign-on environment for authentication and authorization.
