Database uses normal Java datatypes, so the database format is identical on all platforms. Security CoffeeLink News Server controls access to newsgroups using a sophisticated role based authorization system. A role defines a set of privileges. Each user can be assigned to one or more roles. CoffeeLink now allows administrators to define their own roles for maximum flexibility in access control.
Users can only see newsgroups for which they have read permission.
Users can only retrieve messages if they can read at least one group to which the message was posted. This allows open and restricted discussion groups to be hosted safely on the same server. Simultaneous Connections Limited by max. Can be adjusted by user to impose site specific limits. Message Size Maximum 8 MB per message.
