## How Does It Work?
-Fortress is a Role-Based Access Control security system. It uses a directory server to store the information about users, roles, permissions, etc. Out-of-the-box it supports either ApacheDS or OpenLDAP servers but works with any LDAPv3 compliant system.
-
-To learn how to install, setup and configure with either of the supported servers, check out the quickstarts:

### API usage
Probably the best place to start is the javadoc. To understand how RBAC works, look at the interfaces like AccessMgr, AdminMgr and ReviewMgr. For ARBAC add 'Del' to the name - for delegated. DelAdminMgr, DelAccessMgr, etc. For password policies, PwPolicyMgr.
-### Configuration
-Next is to understand how the runtime works. As you might expect, Fortress requires a large number of parameters that bind it to a runtime environment. For example the LDAP server's coordinates, hostname, port, suffix, service account credentials and more. The configuration subsystem pulls these parameters from a variety of locations.

-### Multitenancy
-The Fortress APIs and data storage is fully multitenant. To understand how that works.

## What technologies at play?
Fortress products run on open system hardware and software platforms supporting LDAPv3, HTTP & Java.
