jGuard is built on JAAS framework, which is part of the JAVA J2SE api.
The key features as they appear on jGuard overview page are:
* Only requires java 1.4 and j2ee 1.3 or higher
* Can be adapted to any webapp, on any application server
* Permits a user to have more than one role simultaneously
* Does not depend on a web framework, or an AOP framework
* Built on top of the standard, very secure, and flexible JAAS
* Authentication and authorization are handled by pluggable mechanisms
* Authentication data stored in a database, an XML file, a JNDI datasource, an LDAP directory, Kerberos…
* Changes take effects ‘on the fly’ (dynamic configuration)
* Permissions, roles, and their associations can be created, updated, deleted on the fly through a webapp (an API is provided too)
* Each webapp has its own authentication and authorization configuration
* A taglib is provided to protect jsp fragments
* Support security manager
