I have been tasked with researching role-based security technology for possible inclusion in our .Net based desktop and web applications. I envision sending a service the security credentials of the application user and receiving back a configuration stream describing what UI elements to present to the user. Any ideas of which open-source or commercial technologies will do this?

Thanks in advance.

  • Open ended recommendation requests are not really what this site is for, and will generally not get you a properly useful answer. Consider OAuth, SAML, SSO, WIF... which of these have you looked at and do you have a specific question for one them in regards to your problem? – StingyJack Jul 08 '16 at 16:05
  • Those are all authorization technologies not RBS. Thanks anyway. – user481779 Jul 08 '16 at 17:28
  • Of Authentication (who you say you are - SAML, WIF) and Authorization (what you are permitted to do - OAuth), role based security is Authorization - what you are permitted to do. – StingyJack Jul 08 '16 at 17:36
  • I think they are all technologies an RBS would wrap itself around. – user481779 Jul 08 '16 at 18:02
  • You can and should wrap them for your own application's needs, but its only a naming difference at that point. – StingyJack Jul 08 '16 at 18:14
  • Apache Shiro is closest to what I am looking for. Thanks for responding. – user481779 Jul 08 '16 at 18:47
