> Right now, Jetspeed only has a database based PermissionManagerImpl.
> In contrast to the other security components for User,Role,Group there is no corresponding PermissionSecurityHandler for abstracting the backend implementation.
> Adding a PermissionSecurityHandler and corresponding DefaultPermissionSecurityHandler (for the database) and a LdapPermissionSecurityHandler
> also requires extending the SecurityMappingHandler interface and delegating the current db access in PermissionManagerImpl to the PermissionSecurityHandler.
> Related to this is the RdbmsPolicy class (name) which really hooks the PermissionManager into the Java security system.
> Although this class is call RdbmsPolicy, actually it has no ties to the database at all, only to the PermissionManager.
> By providing an LDAP backend for the permissions, we can still use the RdbmsPolicy, nevermind its name  :) 
> But maybe we should rename it to JetspeedPolicy in the future for clarity.
