Author Description

One of the greatest strengths of the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) from the Open Software Foundation (OSF) is that DCE offers the most complete, flexible, & well-integrated network security package on the industry. The heart of DCE Security lies in access control lists (ACLs). This book helps you plan your application & lay the groundwork for ACLs, as well as use the calls that come with the DCE Security interfaces. It covers the purpose of DCE Security, how the system fits together, what is required of the programmer, & how to figure out what needs protection. Focuses on DCE 1.0; version 1.1 is also discussed.
