Abstract
Methods and apparatus for synchronizing access control in a web server are described. A plurality of security scenarios are defined, each of which has one or more security settings associated therewith. The security settings are those that are associated with a plurality of access control mechanisms that control access to a web server or to resources that are used by the web server. One or more of the security settings for one or more of the access control mechanisms are set when a security scenario is selected. Thus, the security settings for a number of different access control mechanisms can be set contemporaneously by selecting one security scenario.
