I would absolutely not recommend using ACEGI with WAS. It doesn't
leverage any JEE standard capabilties, or WebSphere provided security
features, instead it provides alternative implementations.

A simpler solution for fine-grained authorization is described here:

This will work with standard WebSphere authentication.

It's a Bad Experience , I would prefer not to hang on with acegi , it
would be very very difficult to extend the framework or sometime if
you want to unplugged it's
really cumbersome.

None of the links work.

They work just fine for me.

There's a space in the link...when you click on the link it gets translated to a '%20'. Just remove the '%20' and reload the link.

I highly recommend you check out Spring Security 2.0, which just went
final a few days back. They introduced a preauthentication concept
that can fully integrate with standard Java EE security, if that's a
big concern of yours.
