Enterprise Security stores authentication and authorization information in a JDBC-compliant database. If you are using Enterprise Security with Enterprise Portal, the database is installed in the Adaptive Server product by default.
Enterprise Security implements an authorization delegate that isolates the authorization logic from the PortalSession object, and allows you to store authorization information in a different data store.
Previously, when users logged in to the portal or EAServer via a user name and password, the PortalSession accessed the ACDB directly to check for access permissions.
Enterprise Security now implements an authorization delegate that establishes a connection to the data store where the authorization information is stored, and retrieves authorization information. The underlying data store and the format of the authorization information is hidden from the PortalSession object.
