Is there a replacement for Azman, that is a new way to apply security. Previously we were using EntLib 3 and used Azman for our security and authorisation. However an article I read about the vision of EntLib 6.0 is to deprecate Security(link below), but there is no alternative specified. May someone please advise what the best method to handle security and authorization is now?
edit: Azman seems deprecated on Windows 2012 R2, see the first link
AzMan itself is NOT deprecated and is available for modern versions of Windows, including Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8. What is deprecated is the EntLib’s Security Application Block which included a wrapper to AzMan. This is aligned with our deprecation approach.
You have several options depending on your upgrade objectives:
