[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - Re: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-459 You shoul

[bsmithjj]

The link to the wiki is not good enough.  Here is a link to the 2.2 docs on the JACC security http://docs.jboss.com/jbportal/v2.2/reference-guide/en/html_single/#security in JBoss Portal.  We are evaluating a few open source portals.  We're concerned that there is a lot of change going on in the security layer of JBoss Portal.  We built a portal using JBoss Portal last year and simply used JAAS and integrated our own permissions systems.  This year, in preparation for a new project, we've been reviewing 2.4 we see that simply adding in our own login module isn't going to cut it - mainly due to the JACC Security policy stuff.  We don't have a problem with JACC, we're mainly wondering if the JACC implementation is stable, going away, going to change, etc....  The fact that it's not in the documentation leads us to believe that maybe the security layer is in the process of being changed.

Please provide some indication of the direction of the Security layer - are the API's fixed for 2.4 and all 2.X releases of the Portal?  Where's the real documentation for these API's?  We are existing JBoss customers, we obviously wouldn't be interested in adding on or buying support for the JBoss Portal if we can't get decent written documentation on the API's and a guarantee of consistency on the portal.

Thanks.
