Abstract
A role passing and persistence mechanism that implements role-based access control at a container level is disclosed. In one implementation, the role passing and persistence mechanism provides one or more RBAC services. Functions provided by the role passing and persistence mechanism include role validating, role persisting and role administration. The role passing and persistence mechanism is used to persist role information for a session between a client and a container for any type of client. No matter which adaptor a client uses to connect to the container, the role passing and persistence mechanism provides a uniform method of passing role information to the container such that persisted role information can be used by any service hosted by the container after the session is established and the role information has been persisted.
