| <title>Overview of the us.jts.commander component</title> |
| </head> |
| <body> |
| Commander is a web application that interface with <A HREF="http://www.jts.us/iamfortress/javadocs/api/index.html">Fortress</A> and <A HREF="http://www.openldap.org/">OpenLDAP</A>. |
| |
| <h2>What technologies are in use?</h2> |
| |
| Commander was built using established <A HREF="http://www.opensource.org/">Open Source</A> technologies including |
| <A HREF="http://wicket.apache.org//">Apache Wicket</A> (Web UI framework), <A HREF="http://www.springsource.org/">Spring Framework</A> (glue), <A HREF="http://maven.apache.org/">Maven</A> (dependencies) |
| and runs inside any reasonably compliant Java Servlets container. |
| |
| Access control decisions are enforced using <A HREF="http://www.jts.us/iamfortress/javadocs/api-sentry/index.html?overview-summary.html">Sentry</A> which itself |
| uses declarative <A HREF="http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/5/tutorial/doc/bnbwk.html">Java EE Security</A> and <A HREF="http://static.springsource.org/spring-security/site/">Spring Security</A> policy hooks that are wired to |
| connect back to the <A HREF="com/jts/fortress/rbac/package-summary.html">Fortress</A> <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-based_access_control">RBAC</A> component. |
| |
| Fine-grained access control decisions are enforced using <A HREF="http://www.jts.us/iamfortress/javadocs/api/us/jts/fortress/DelAccessMgr.html">Fortress ARBAC delegated access management.</A> |
| |
| Commander server-side is a <a href="http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/tools/webapps_1/">Java Web program</a> artifact and is wholly dependent on <A HREF="http://www.jts.us/iamfortress/javadocs/api/index.html">Fortress</A> |
| but also needs a <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol">V3 compliant LDAP</A> server like OpenLDAP. For more information on installing and setting up OpenLDAP check out |
| <A HREF="http://www.jts.us/iamfortress/guides/README-QUICKSTART.html">Fortress Quickstart</A> |
| |
| <h2>What can Commander do?</h2> |
| |
| Contained within this application are Web pages to perform ANSI RBAC administration along with IETF password policies and viewing the security audit trail and history of changes. |
| |
| <h2>What are the conditions of use?</h2> |
