How can we configure security on access control actions in an access control plugin. I see how it’s done in the sample ‘AccessControl’, but that’s not really the same sort of plugin as the sample ‘DemoAccessControlPlugin’ or ‘MiniSystem’.
The security lies in the access control system and relies on personalized logins, it is actually part of the DemoAccessControlPlugin sample (and accompanying DemoServerApplication).
Hi Bo,
I was evisaging something more integrated, as demonstrated in the AccessControl Sample, where you can configure security on commands based on the user roles.
I’m wondering if I shouldn’t rather go for the approach in the AccessControl sample instead of a purely Access Control Plugin?
Any advices against or pro this approach?
I think that we in Milestone think that the Access Control Module framework relying on the Access Control system is a thight integration, that cutting off the Access Control system as the source of the security migth not be the appropriate method. I hope you understand what I mean.
I think the ideal would be to use the Access Control Module framework but then augment it with an admin plugin that can be used to configure your Access Control system.
In general the Access Control (MIP SDK 2.0) is aimed at showing how “MIP” items can be used, it is very flexible and have a very broad usability.
Where it first and foremost comes in short of the Access Control Module framework is with the Smart Client interface with lists and fly-out etc.
