DSS is pleased to announce DACS version 1.4.12.
This is primarily a bug fix and minor enhancements release.
Important new features include:
+ the ability to authenticate against Apache htpasswd and htdbm files
using any DACS password-oriented authentication module
+ a DACS implementation of RFC 2617 HTTP Basic Authentication supporting
authentication by any password-oriented DACS authentication module
+ a DACS implementation of RFC 2617 HTTP Digest Authentication for
authenticating against Apache htdigest files
+ built-in versions of authentication modules can be selected
DACS is security software - we urge all users to upgrade to the latest release.
DACS is:
o a powerful role-based access control system that can apply flexible
access control to virtually any web service request
o enhanced Apache authentication and authorization
o single sign-on for Apache
o for script and application developers, able to provide fine-grained
access control functionality to almost any program or script
o for Unix-type platforms, such as Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris
DACS 1.4.12 is released under dual licensing terms (a GPL-compatible open
source license and a commercial license).
DACS is hosted on SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/dacs
