Interface SecurityDomain

All Known Implementing Classes:

GenericSecurityDomain, PathSecurityDomain

public interface SecurityDomain

A security domain manages the authorization policy for some part of an application. The application asks the security domain if it's ok for a particular user to perform a particular act using a particular resource, and the security domain determines whether or not this is allowed.

Each security domain has a related user authority that determines which personae it is allowed to manage. Any personae that are not related to that user authority are simply ignored.
