Measures reported by QpidAcConProTest

The Access Control Provider governs the actions that a user may perform. There are two points within the hierarchy that enforce access control: the Broker itself and at each Virtual Host. When an access decision needs to be made, the nearest control point configured with a provider is consulted for a decision. The example, when making a decision about the ability to say, consume from, a Queue, if the Virtual Host is configured with Access Control Provider it is consulted. Unless a decision is made, the decision is delegated to the Access Control Provider configured at the Broker.

The Access Control Providers are configured with a list of ACL (Access Control) rules. The rules determine to which objects the user has access and what actions the user may perform on those objects. ACL rules can be written in terms of user or group names. This test reports the current state of the application for which the access control rule is applied and reports error, if any.
