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.
