The ACL library provides an implementation of the ACL manager interface and the ACL network interface for the convenience of programmers who are writing ACL managers for DCE servers.
The ACL library meets the following needs:
· It provides stable storage for ACLs.
· It implements the rdacl_*( ) interface, including support for multiple object types, initial default Object ACLs, and initial default Container ACLs.
· It implements the full access algorithm, including masks and delegation.
· It provides DCE developers with a set of convenience functions so that servers can easily perform common styles of access control with minimal effort.
