Abstract

In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for propagating security information for an application between a first environment and a second environment. These mechanisms and methods can enable embodiments to propagate changes to security information from a first application instance in a first environment to a second application instance in a second environment. For example, an embodiment can receive security information from an adapter associated with a test version of an application, and then propagate the security information to a production version of the application residing in a production environment. The ability of embodiments to propagate security information between adapters associated with application versions can enable propagation of changes to security information, i.e., information about changes to permissions, rules, policies and so forth relating to security, between a first environment and a second environment without necessitating taking the production version of the application off line.
