Server based application level authorisation for Rotor

Delegent is an authorisation server developed to provide a single centralised policy repository for multiple applications with support for decentralised administration by means of delegation. The author investigates how to integrate Delegent with the Rotor implementation of the .NET framework and compare the features of Delegent with those of the existing application level authorisation models of .NET. The author concludes that Delegent offers help for application developers and a decentralised administration model, which are not available in standard .NET, and that the .NET model is well suited to be extended to use an authorisation server.
