Approaching access control on the web
Blog post from Ory
This blog post introduces a series aimed at providing comprehensive guidance on setting up access control in web applications, focusing on both authentication and authorization. It begins with an overview of various access control approaches, highlighting server-side and client-side applications, and discusses the merits and challenges of using cookies and tokens for managing user access. The post emphasizes the importance of using established technologies and protocols like OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect for scalable and secure solutions, particularly in environments involving multiple services such as microservices and service-oriented architectures. Single Sign-On (SSO) is recommended to streamline user management and enhance security across distributed systems. The series promises to delve deeper into token-centric access control, comparing systems like Access Control List (ACL) and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), while also offering insights into open-source tools and best practices to save time and resources.
