Hi,

I am trying to implement an authorization and authentication mechanism on CDO 2.0.
For the authentication I found a faq on Net4J web site [1] for defining our own PasswordCredentialsProvider. By taking a look at the Credential definition, we can see that we just define user ID and password, then, that's OK for authentication.

But concerning the authorization, I mean defining for a specific user ID the list of resources or types of objects he can access, or more generally the list of permissions he has, I found nothing.

Do you know if such mechanism exist in CDO 2.0 ?

Thank you,

Sabri.

Note that in CDO 3.0 we have an additional, superior athentication
mechanism per CDOSession (not only on Net4j IConnector level). Search
this newgroup for "authen..." if you need hints.

See 277075: Access Control system in CDO
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=277075

Yes, it doesn't ;-)

But you might be able to implement your own using custom
IRepository.ReadAccessHandler and IRepository.WriteAccessHandler.
