Administration GUI

The Administration GUI is a web interface to view, edit and test the configuration of an Authorization Manager. It can be optionally deployed within a web application that makes use of the Authorization Manager. Being an optional module its installation is not required for the correct operation of the Authorization Manager.
The Administration GUI provides commands to:
  1. view the configuration of the Authorization Manager as a tree of Policies, AttributeRepositories and Translations;
  2. edit, test and change the configuration file;
  3. edit the content of the subject-attribute associations used by AttributeRepositories and Translations.
The Administration GUI is able to show the content of all associations in a completely uniform way, irrespectively of their physical implementation (file, database, static table, etc.).
