[security-dev] Authorization constructs in PicketLink3

[Pedro Igor Silva]

I remember Shane saying that he is going to take a look at the permissions api, mainly after the latest changes to the idm/core apis.

I can start looking at that too, if necessary. Maybe providing some test cases to see the gaps (also provide some tests for the authentication stuff).

Right Pete - I do mention in the thread. I was referring to users 
wanting alternative authorization mechanisms such as
that driven by Drools (as in Seam2) and maybe XACML. :)  Ideally, the 
default authz mechanism by the rbac filter
should be the permissions module.
