New Server Components

ACL

The Access Control List component is used to give various roles to users of a system where each role consists of a set of one or more attributes. A client can use the ACL component by finding the user name and the corresponding role and check before any functionality is used that the client has the proper level of authority. A client can further check whether a role has the required attributes.

The ACL consists of 3 parts: Attributes, Roles, Users
Attributes are the functions in a system in which users have a role. For example: a user can have the facility to delete (id 7)
Roles are specified by a congregation of one or more attributes. For example: an administrator, whose attribute ids may be 7,6 and 2.
Users are all the people / other systems which have a role id in a system.

ConnectionPool

The Connection Pooling component maintains a specified pool of connections at start up.

Whenever a client makes a call to get connection, if a connection is available then the connection is returned. If a connection is not available and the maximum connections are already in use the component will keep trying until the specified time out is reached. If the maximum connections are not in use then a new connection will be created and added to the pool and returned. The main advantage of using this connection pool is that a client does not have to explicitly write any time dependant code to wait until a connection is available. Instead a client just sets the time a client should wait for the pool to return a connection. As soon as the connection is available the pool returns the connection or if the timeout set is over it throws an exception.

Password

The Password component implements an authentication mechanism to validate User Id and Password against a directory server or database. It facilitates the ability to add a new user profile or manage existing user profiles. Features include:

• Password authentication on directory servers including Active Directory Server, and Netscape (iPlanet) Directory Server
• Password authentication on database; encryption mechanism implemented
• Change password on the directory server
• Change password on database
• Add new entries (user id & password) to the directory server
• Delete authorized entries on the directory server
• Modify the attributes of entries authorized on the directory server

Current Components also enhanced.
