Following the initial implementation of the Web Access Control [109] authorization module, this release furthers that effort with several fixes and improvements.  Enhancements include:

  • WebACLs can now apply to binary resources

  • An HTTP header, 'On-Behalf-Of', can optionally be configured to offer delegated authorization (documentation [1110])

  • A WebACL can be placed on the server acting as the final backstop for authorization decisions for resources that have no other effective WebACL (documentation [1211])
  • WebACLs can now include references to 'agentClass' Fedora resources as defined in the Web Access Control specification (documentation [1312])
  • An HTTP 'Link' header is included in responses to protected resources pointing to the effective WebACL

Additional documentation of Fedora's implementation of Web Access Controls is available on the wiki [1413].
