  Authorization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In security engineering and computer security, authorization, is a part of the operating system that protects computer resources by only allowing those resources to be used by resource consumers that have been granted authority to use them.
Permissions are generally defined by the computer's system administrator in some types of "security policy application", such as an access control list or a capability, on the basis of the "principle of least privilege": consumers should only be granted permissions they need to to their jobs.
Even when authorization is performed by using a combination of authentication and access control lists, the problems of maintaining the security policy data is not trivial, and often represents as much administrative burden as proving the necessary user identities.

 authorization (HIPAA) - Privacy / Data Protection Project (c)2002-2005
Multiple authorizations may be combined into a single document.
In general, authorizations may not be combined with other types of documents, such as the Notice of Privacy Practices or an optional consent.
As with other HIPAA documentation retention requirements, covered entities must keep a signed authorization for six years from the date of its creation or the date when it last was in effect, whichever is later.

 RFC 2906 (rfc2906) - AAA Authorization Requirements   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
This states that the attributes that are significant in an authorization decision, may be dependent on a closed environment.
This states that authorization information itself is never to be considered valid for all time, every piece of authorization information must have associated either an explicit or implicit validity period or time-to-live.
Given that peers may support different combinations of authorization attribute types and packages, the requirement states that protocol support is required to ensure that the peers use packages supported by both peers.

 RFC 2904 (rfc2904) - AAA Authorization Framework   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Terminology is introduced for basic elements in the authorization transaction and for concepts that appear to be common to all (or at least many) authorization proposals.
Several possible authorization sequences are possible, each of which use the static trust "chain" to have the user first be approved by the User Home Organization, and then have the Service Provider accept the request based on its trust of the User Home Organization.
One view of an authorization is that it is the result of evaluating policies of each organization that has an interest in the authorization decision.

 Authorization for Everyone
Using Authorization Services to implement this sort of application (called a system-restricted application in the Authorization Services documentation) is well understood, and there are two sample programs, AuthSample and MoreAuthSample, that demonstrate this clearly.
The Authorization Services routines described in the previous sections do not help if your application needs to run on earlier versions of Mac OS X. There are two strategies that you can use if you need compatibility with earlier systems.
Authorization Services allows you to create a self-restricted application, wherein a system administrator can control which users are allowed to access which features.

 Role-Based Access Control for Multi-tier Applications with Authorization Manager
The authorization policy store is replicated to all domain controllers in the domain in which the authorization policy is stored and Authorization Manager objects are referenced in each global catalog server in the forest.
Authorization Manager introduces two types of groups which can be used by Authorization Manager applications to facilitate applications that need to maintain groups of security principals: application basic groups and LDAP query groups.
Authorization Manager is designed for applications using the trusted subsystem application model, where access checks are done in the context of the server, and ACLs on back-end server resources only need to grant access to the application server service account.

 "Authorization" Defined
AUTHORIZATION - Basic, substantive legislation that establishes or continues the legal operation of a federal program or agency, either indefinitely or for a specific period of time, or which sanctions a particular type of obligation or expenditure.

 Automated Authorization FAQs
No, while the automated authorization program will try to verify your package and account information on a monthly basis, your software may actually be authorized for up to a year.
Here’s how it works: each time the automated authorization program connects to the Internet and successfully communicates with the authorization database (or is authorized manually if you don’t have an Internet connection), it sets a counter in your software based on your authorization term.
Also, if your authorization term was reduced for some reason, it can be returned to one year once your account status returns to good standing.

 authorization - a Whatis.com definition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Authorization is the process of giving someone permission to do or have something.
In multi-user computer systems, a system administrator defines for the system which users are allowed access to the system and what privileges of use (such as access to which file directories, hours of access, amount of allocated storage space, and so forth).
Thus, authorization is sometimes seen as both the preliminary setting up of permissions by a system adminstrator and the actual checking of the permission values that have been set up when a user is getting access.

The 407 (Proxy Authentication Required) response message is used by a proxy to challenge the authorization of a client and MUST include a Proxy- Authenticate header field containing at least one challenge applicable to the proxy for the requested resource.
If a prior request has been authorized, the same credentials MAY be reused for all other requests within that protection space for a period of time determined by the authentication scheme, parameters, and/or user preference.

 Core Middleware - Authorization
At its simplest, authorization is the next generation of ACLs — the read/write/execute controls that are embedded in file systems.
Typically, authorization indicates what an identifier, properly authenticated, is permitted to do with a networked object or resource.
For example, the authorizations can be carried within the Kerberos ticket or as part of a certificate.

 Chapter 6: Authentication & Authorization   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
In this chapter, we step back to an earlier phase of the HTTP transaction, one in which Apache attempts to determine the identity of the person at the other end of the connection, and whether he or she is authorized to access the resource.
In the context of the HTTP protocol, the first decision is known as ``access control,'' the second as ``authentication'' and the third as ``authorization.'' Each is the responsibility of a separate Apache handler which decides who can access the site, and what they are allowed to see when they enter.
Because the user name may be needed by later handlers, such as the authorization and logging modules, it's stored in a stable location inside the request object's connection record.

 HTTP/1.1: Header Field Definitions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The Authorization field value consists of credentials containing the authentication information of the user agent for the realm of the resource being requested.
If a request is authenticated and a realm specified, the same credentials SHOULD be valid for all other requests within this realm (assuming that the authentication scheme itself does not require otherwise, such as credentials that vary according to a challenge value or using synchronized clocks).
Unlike Authorization, the Proxy-Authorization header field applies only to the next outbound proxy that demanded authentication using the Proxy- Authenticate field.

While state programs can be innovative and flexible, such programs will not receive authorization unless they are equivalent to the federal hazardous waste management standards.
