Peachtree Security Manager
The Security Manager is a Peachtree Software intranet application that grants access to other applications using a lookup mechanism of Exchange Folder names. If a user is a member of an Exchange Folder and that folder has been granted permission to access a particular application, then the user will be able to access the application. This mechanism enables supervisors to allow their users access to appropriate applications, by adding them to Exchange Folders, rather than the Security Manager maintaining separate lists of users.
Technical Description
The Security Manager UI operates in a Microsoft Internet Explorer intranet environment and uses a traditional web page structure. A DHTML hierarchical menu is used to generate the drop down lists of applications that the user is authorized to access.
The presentation tier uses DHTML and JavaScript to render the screens from Server Side Javascript and is hosted on Microsoft IIS. Technologies used in the UI include:
- DHTML hierarchical menu
- DHTML, XML and JavaScript
The development tools used to construct the UI include:
