HyperCube-based Access Control Management System |
Innovative solution to handle authorizations of users in enterprise applications: ACMS is the tool used to answer the general question: « Can this user do this action in this context? ». |
Highly customized |
In opposition to commonly found solutions, there is no hardcoding of the specific business way of working of the client applications into the internal data structures: no "users", "tasks", "applications", "domains," "scopes" tables in the database repository. This means you don't have to adapt your way of working to the software, but quite the opposite: you adapt HC-ACMS to your needs, which gives the solution a high resilience to your business evolution. |
How customization is achieved |
Simple and Abstract Data Model |
Based on the concept of geometric Hyper Cube, the data model handles mainly "cubes", "dimensions" and "coordinates" of which relationships are stored in a recursive hyper-tree structure in which each node value is the access: abstain, deny, grant or dynamicaly evaluated |
Programming language |
All the data manipulation can be done by scripts written in the specific programming language create cube MYSOLUTION as "Main cube" Access.abstain. NB. The export of data of a cube can be done in the script language itself: debugging and backup are easely achieved |
Dynamic evaluation of access |
In the hyper-tree, the access value can be evaluated dynamically in function of the submitted context. Rule can be written in Java Expression Language or Groovy |
Orthogonal definition of Coordinates and Group of Coordinates |
In the hyper-cube, the coordinates can be groups, defined either in static, either in dynamic way. Membership rules can be written in Java Expression Language, Groovy or be a simple Regular Expression |
Developer hooks |
At important points of the code, the system calls possible custom "hooks" (written in Groovy) installed by the client, giving further opportunities to customize specific operations. |
Responsibilities |
The consultant implementing the solution is in charge of mapping the customer needs to the number of dimensions, their naming and ordering, defining the dynamic rules, etc. |
Open source |
For higher resilience and customization |
The solution is open source under licencing conditions to give you higher long-term security |
