Activiti access control integration with an application

[kethur]

Hi,

We have a system which has its own access control system (Similar to Activiti's) with few additional capabilities suiting our requirements.  Now, we would like to use Activiti as a new component with our system.  But the database table structure is different to Activiti structure.

Could you please suggest the best way to integrate the access control mechanism with any application?

Thanks,
Raj

The identity-management in activiti is pluggable. Search the forum for "UserManager" of "IdentitySession" discussions, and you'll get some examples on how this can be customized.

Another option is to add all access-management in a layer on top of the Activiti API in your app, so you're sure all calls to activiti are done with access-checking.
