Hi all,
My application obtains the user id and password from the
user. Having this info, my application then needs to
check the user file access permissions against the
underlying operating system permissions. That is, my app
needs to know if that particular client has permissions
to access particular files on the OS. I would think
that I need to access the operating system ACL somehow.
Questions:
1) Does any one know of any tutorials on how to access
operating system ACLs?
2) From my research so far, I think I have to use the
java.security and java.security.acl packages. The
Sun API documentation also mentioned about the package
sun.security.acl. Where can I get API documentation
for this package?
3) I think I also need to create realms, like a NT realm
or Unix realm to access the list of users on the
server. I read that there's a package named
sun.server.realm.Realm. Where can I download this
package and it's API documentation?
4) Or does JBoss already have something in place that can
help me to access the underlying operating system's
ACL? or create realms?
Thanks for any help and suggestions!!
