New security framework available

[Marcel Ruff <ruff at swand.lake.de>]

Hi,

Wolfgang Kleinertz has finished a really cool security
framework for xmlBlaster, which allows to plugin
drivers for your backend authentication and authorization
server.

There are some demo plugins available:

*A plugin for a2Blaster, the xml based
 authentication/authorization server

*A GUI based plugin which allows you to
 look at each login, publish atc. and
 grant access manually

*A default plugin to simulate the old behaviour


Other plugins for LDAP, Kerberos ... should be
simple to implement.


The code is only released in cvs:

  cvs update -d -P

will bring it to your home.


Copy xmlBlaster/config/xmlBlaster.properties.template
to $HOME/xmlBlaster.properties and uncomment two lines:

Security.Client.ForcePlugin=gui,1.0
Security.Client.Plugin[gui][1.0]=org.xmlBlaster.authentication.plugins.gui.ClientSecurityHelper


If you now start xmlBlaster and later one of our
demo or testsuite clients, a GUI will pop
up (the GUI based demo-plugin is running).


enjoy

Marcel
