Package net.jxta.access Description

The Access Service provides a framework for using the identities created with the Membership Service to control whether specific operations are permitted.

The Access Service, like the Membership Service, is not associated with a particular JXTA protocol. Each Access Service implementation is responsible for its own protocol definition (if any). This approach is used primarily so that JXTA bridges well to existing common Membership and Access technologies. For example; PKI, LDAP Kerberos, NTLM and API based interfaces such as PAM and JAAS.
