I need to implement an ACL based authentication mechanism for a device. This device can be accessed through various interfaces, such as web pages, TL1 (mainly using the command line), etc.
I need ACL logic to be centralized so that a request from any interface can be authenticated.
The ACL logic will basically check if the registered user can complete the operation that he is trying to perform. To do this, I will create groups and add users to these groups. Each group will maintain a list of operations allowed in that particular group.
Can anyone suggest a better way to implement this?
Is there any existing software / tool that allows me to achieve this? Any open source project?
I am a C / C ++ programmer and new to the ACL concept. The above module should be designed for Linux. The web interface will reside in CGI.
Thanks in advance.
