ACE A UTHENTICATION S ERVER B ACKGROUND I NFORMATION
Access Control Encryption (ACE) is a database supported by the system. ACE operates using two
components: client code and server code. The ACE Server software is installed on a UNIX-based
system connected to the network. The client protocols allow the CyberSWITCH to communicate
with the ACE Server, ultimately authenticating users.
