CLAWS can also refer to the web site of Creating Livable Alternatives to Wage Slavery (CLAWS)[1]
CLAWS is a modular open-source software package that provides account and identity management functions in a heterogeneous computing environment. Developed at Rochester Institute of Technology, CLAWS was designed to simplify the process of managing user accounts across multiple systems. Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) is a private higher education institute, emphasizing career preparation, located in the township of Henrietta, outside of Rochester, New York. ...
Design
The software design is relatively simple. The CLAWS Central Server (CAT) represents the interchange point for the entire system. The client front-end is a PHP-based API foundation that is designed to support high-level web-clients. The primary management web-client allows help desk staff to easily manage user accounts and identities from any computer. Additionally, users can manage their identity and mail preferences using a separate self-help web-client.
On the back-end, special modules can be created to interface with various computing systems. These modules are subscriber-based components that can detect and handle updates from CAT. Data that is specific to CLAWS, such as update history, is stored in an Oracle database. External systems can both update and receive updates through CLAWS subscriptions and feeds.
Running under Apache Tomcat, CAT communicates with the components through SOAP over HTTPS. CLAWS supports the delegation of granular permissions to accommodate the various roles within the Institute. This highly-extensible design permits the addition of new systems and clients as needed.
A claw is a curved pointed growth found at the end of a toe or finger, or in arthropods, of the tarsus.
The unguis is the harder external layer which consists of keratin fibers perpendicular to the direction of growth arranged in layers at an oblique angle; and the subunguis is the softer, flaky underside layer whose grain is parallel to the direction of growth.
The Steel Claw remained fondly remembered by it's fans and future comic creators and during the Alan Moore and Alan Davis run of Captain Britain, The Steel Claw was renamed The Iron Tallon for a brief cameo appearance.
This character is a thief who tries to steal the claw from a museum, only to have it attach itself to his left hand and then receive the same invisibility powers, as well as added strength and shock powers in the claw.
Steel Claw was published in Sweden from the 1970s in the magazine Seriemagasinet and later in its spin-off SM Special.
