Access Control Handler

Note: this component has a complexity level of "expert", which means that objects of this type are not expected to be created or altered. Please contact UnboundID support for assistance if you believe that you have a need to create or modify this type of object.

Note: this is an abstract component that cannot be instantiated.

Access Control Handlers manage the application-wide access control. The Metrics Engine access control handler is defined through an extensible interface, so that alternate implementations can be created. Only one access control handler may be active in the server at any given time.

Note that the Metrics Engine also has a privilege subsystem, which may have an impact on what clients may be allowed to do in the server. For example, any user with the bypass-acl privilege is not subject to access control checking regardless of whether the access control implementation is enabled, and any user with the bypass-read-acl privilege will be exempt from access control evaluation for bind, compare, and search operations.
