authorization

I have created a custom authentication and authorisation for my users.The problem I am facing is how to get mvc to check that role from inside my users table matches the [Authorize(Role)] on my controller so as to set httpauthorised to true.Below is my customauthorise class. [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method | AttributeTargets.Class, Inherited = true, AllowMultiple = true)] public class CustomAuthorizeAttribute : AuthorizeAttribute { public override void OnAuthorization(AuthorizationContext filterContext) { base.OnAuthorization(filterContext); if (!filterContext.HttpContext.User.Identity

I'm working in a legacy environment where an LDAP server is used only for authentication and contains no roles, and authorization is done against a database which contains the user-role mapping, but no passwords. My plan is to implement a new Tomcat Realm by extending JNDIRealm, and overriding the role methods to call an encapsulated JDBCRealm. My realm is declared in server.xml: <Realm className="com.example.LdapJdbcRealm" connectionURL="ldap://ldaphost:389" resourceName="LDAP Auth" userPattern="uid={0}, ou=Portal, dc=example, dc=com" dbConnectionURL="jdbc:oracle:thin:@oracledb:1521:dbname"

I have been looking for a way to protect my RESTful APIs. This appeared simple, but it seems to not be so simple. First off, I am writing an iOS app connecting to a Play Framework server. None of this has anything to do with Google, Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn (shocking I know). Oh, and my current plans do not require custom apps to use my APIs, its just my apps for the time being. Basic Authentication What appeared to be simple was a basic user/pass on a /auth method managing a cookie session. That may draw some groans as being too simple or weak but mostly it moved identity to a session

The version I use is neo4j-enterprise-2.2.0-M02 My question is : How can I configure a user (like add a new user, change the password ,etc) in backend or browser, instead of REST API? Can I do it via neo4j-shell? imagine that I am a DBA, it is not very convenient to do this by REST API. Any help will be greatly appreciated! You can use the browser instead of the API. Just go to http://localhost:7474 (or whatever IP to which the web console is bound) and you will be prompted to change the password. Once authenticated, use the command :server change-password to change the password again. It is

I'm working on a project where I need the following. WCF service on the server side (.NET 3.5) WPF client for the client side (.NET 3.0) I have an existing application that I have to use the authentication and authorization from (on the server side). I also need to store some metadata about the user in the WCF Service's Thread Principal (a site object). I do this so that I can get at it in the WCF service if I absolutely have to; some business logic may require it. So my plan was to do the following... Create a custom ServiceAuthorizationManager for the server and in there I will log in the

I am making a small app that deletes log files. I am using an NSTask instance which runs rm and srm (secure rm) to delete files. I want to be able to delete files in: /Library/Logs ~/Library/Logs The issue is that the user account does not have permissions to access some files in the system library folder, such as the Adobe logs subfolder and others. For example, only the "system" user (group?) has r/w permissions for the Adobe logs folder and its contents, and the current user doesn't even have an entry in the permissions shown in the Get Info window for the folder.
