ACL Fundamentals

Post by Daz »

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of material covering the theories and ideas behind ACLs - particularly how they work (particularly how the request object info is stored/linked).

I've done a little bit of poking at some frameworks to get ideas but in each case I've left with the feeling I would first need to learn (and develop a pretty good grasp) of the framework itself before I could begin to see what is really going on.

Thanks!

Read the docs for Zend_Acl - they made a decent implementation, its also a lot more practical. Wikipedia programming pages *suck*
