Abstract
A method and apparatus is disclosed for local access authorization of cached resources. A first request to perform an operation on a first object that is stored in a cache is received. An entity identifier associated with the entity that sent the first request, an operation identifier associated with the operation, and an Access Control List (ACL) associated with the first object are determined based on the first request. A record that includes at least the operation identifier, the ACL, and an authorization indicator is accessed. The authorization indicator indicates whether the entity has previously successfully performed the operation on any object in the cache that is associated with the ACL. Based on the authorization indicator included in the record, a determination is made whether to authorize the entity to perform the operation on the first object.
