Package com.gigaspaces.security Description

Security

GigaSpaces security is used to secure numerous demanding environments at different levels of security. GigaSpaces provides a default security implementation with some handy extension points.

Custom Extensions

Encoding

The default GigaSpaces security implementation uses MD5 as the default algorithm to encrypt passwords PasswordEncoder, and AES as the default algorithm to encrypt contents stored in a file ContentEncoder.

File-Service

The default GigaSpaces security implementation stores the users and roles in a local file-system. The FileService interface defines the file access mechanism; The default implementation is the LocalFileService. It can be replaced by URLFileService to read the file contents from an HTTP Server.

Custom Security

The main security interface is SecurityManager which is responsible for authentication and creating of the DirectoryManager. These are the two interfaces of interest when implementing your own custom security.
