Microsoft Active Directory - In Windows-based systems, an entry in an access control list containing the security identifier for a user or group and an access mask that specifies which operations by the user or group are allowed, denied, or audited. All objects in the Active Directory are protected by a security descriptor - the security descriptor contains an access control list which contains access control entries (ACEs) - these ACEs collectively specify the set of permissions that various security principals (users, groups, computers) have on that object.
GuardianEdge Technologies - Cite This Source - This Definition - An entry in an object's discretionary access control list (DACL) that grants permissions to a user or group. An ACE is also an entry in an object's system access control list (SACL) that specifies the security events to be audited for a user or group.

Microsoft Active Directory - In Windows-based systems, a list of access control entries that apply to an entire object, a set of the object's properties, or an individual property of an object, which define the access granted to one or more security principals. All objects in the Active Directory are protected by a security descriptor - the security descriptor contains an access control list which contains access control entries (ACEs) - these ACEs collectively specify the set of permissions that various security principals (users, groups, computers) have on that object.

Microsoft Windows Server - A data structure that contains authentication and authorization information for a user. Windows creates the access token when the user logs on and the user's identity is confirmed. The access token contains the user's security ID (SID), the list of groups that the user is a member of, and the list of privileges held by that user. Each process or thread started for the user inherits a copy of the access token. In some cases a user may have more than one access token, with different levels of authority.

Microsoft Windows Server - The federation server that is located in the corporate network of the account partner organization. The account federation server issues security tokens to users based on user authentication. The server authenticates a user, pulls the relevant attributes and group membership information out of the account store, and generates and signs a security token to return to the userâeither to be used in its own organization or to be sent to a partner organization.

Microsoft Active Directory - A structure supported by Windows 2000 that lets any object on a network be tracked and located. Active Directory is the directory service used in Windows 2000 Server and provides the foundation for Windows 2000 distributed networks. The directory service that stores information about objects on a network and makes this information available to users and network administrators. Active Directory gives network users access to permitted resources anywhere on the network using a single logon process. It provides network administrators with an intuitive, hierarchical view of the network and a single point of administration for all network objects.
