This allows clients and servers to communicate privilegeinformation to each other. Though the privilege information is used as the basis for theAuthorization decision-making process, AttributeCodec selection is based on theinformation presented in the IOR published by the server. Inside the IOR, the serverpublishes information on the encoding scheme supported, while clients select anAttributeCodec that supports the given encoding.All the AttributeCodecs implementations are registered with the IdentityServices, whichis called upon during the import/export of the authorization elements process.MethodsArgumentsvirtual void initialize (const std::string& name, vbsec::InitOptions& options)=0;This method initializes this instance of the AttributeCodec implementation.
