What is OACC?
OACC - pronounced [oak] - is a fully featured API to both enforce and manage your application's authentication and authorization needs.
In a nutshell, OACC provides permission-based authorization services and allows your application to enforce security by answering the question:
Is entity 'A' allowed to perform action 'p' on entity 'B'?
