Package oracle.security.jazn Description

Provides the classes and interfaces for Oracle's authorization/policy provider for JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization Service).

Besides providing a full implementation of javax.security.auth.Policy, JAZN enhances JAAS in the following ways:

• defines a Realm-based user and role management API
• defines an administrative API for administering the following aspects of the authorization policy:
  1. permission-to-user assignment
  2. permission-to-role assignment
  3. user-to-role assignment
• provides Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) support via the Realm framework, with full support for role hierarchies.
