Abstract
An architecture for allowing extensibility to policies. The architecture has a policy component program that is able to evaluate and enforce polices. The architecture also has plugin modules for allowing a user to customize the polices. The policy component program is able to present interfaces to the user for customizing the polices. The policy component program is further able to integrate customized polices into a framework of the policy component program in response to user input that is based on the interfaces presented to the user. The presented interfaces may be for defining subjects in the policy program, defining conditions in the policy program, defining referrals in the policy program, defining resource names in the policy program, and defining how conflicts will be resolved in the policy program. The interfaces may be compliant with the JAVA programming language.
