Question: is apacheds suitable for client side use?

[Shaohua Ma <ma...@appliedbiosystems.com>]

Hi,

I've got an application that needs user management. The application is a 
fat client. One operation mode is that the application will be off line 
(no network connection), yet a user still needs to be authenticated before 
granted access to the application. Can apacheds be used in this scenario 
(installed and managed on the client workstation)? What's the security 
implication?

Thanks in advance for your input.

hi,

I don't see any problem with this approach, as ADS is an embeddable
server. Just be aware that the server size is 6 Mbytes big, and will
eat some memory (64 Mbytes seems correct). You will also have to
provision users' grants on the client.
