ACL Editing


Jeeves Access Control Lists (ACL) control access to web pages or resources used at the server (like servlets). The ACLs allow the administrator to specify privileges associated for particular principals or groups in a particular realm.

When the Jeeves Administration web page is opened and the "acls" section on the left side is slected, the right side comes up with three sections:

Selecting a Jeeves Realm

All ACLs and ACL entries on the right side belong to a particular realm. The realm is listed in a choice box beneath the "Delete ACL" and "Delete ACL entry" buttons. To select a realm, choose it using that choice box. The list of acls displayed will now correspond to that realm.

In Jeeves alpha1, adding new realms is not supported.
