Interface Authorizer

public interface Authorizer

This interface represents an environment-specific facility for authorizing callers to perform actions described by the corresponding permission objects. Such authorization executes before or in place of the Coherence specific JAAS based security checks (see AccessController). Moreover, if Coherence authorization is configured, it must use the Subject object returned by the authorize(javax.security.auth.Subject, com.tangosol.net.ClusterPermission) method to perform its own authorization.
