How else can DACS be used?
Because of its generality and feature set, DACS can be applied to all sorts of problems in addition to controlling access to web resources. For example, DACS can provide fine-grained acess control, programmed audit trails for web access, or look for unusual web service requests. DACS can be used to implement short links, permalinks, and smart links. The DACS rule processing engine can be applied to tasks very different from controlling access to web services. We have used it in programs that perform rule-based document transformations (see dacs_transform(8) and dacstransform(1)). and scheduled program execution (see dacssched(1)).
