Question

I need to create a user authorization with different user’s roles (admin and simple user). Admin will have more functional abilities.
So, what classes or engines should I use to implement user authorization to my destkop application?
Should I use classes in javax.security.auth.login?

Answer 1

The two most common ways to implement authorization in a desktop application are:

• Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS)
• Roll your own, either entirely from scratch or using something like LDAP for storing and checking user credentials.
