Abstract: A method and apparatus for testing and simulating an access control policy are disclosed. Evaluating an access control policy may be performed by utilizing a deny statement that causes the access request to be rejected despite actions indicated in the access request being authorized. Further, an independent simulation environment may be utilized for testing access control policy evaluation.

Abstract: A lever type electrical connector assembly includes a first connector having a mating assist lever pivotally movably mounted on the first connector. A slide member is linearly movably mounted on the first connector. A coupling joint is provided between the mating assist lever and the slide member, whereby pivotal movement of the lever relative to the first connector effects linear movement of the slide member relative to the first connector. The coupling joint includes an open-sided cam groove in one of the lever or slide member receiving a cam follower post on the other of the lever or slide member. The cam groove and cam follower post are configured to prevent the post from pulling out of the open side of the groove. A second connector is provided, with a coupling between the slide member and the second connector for mating and unmating the connectors in response to rotation of the mating assist lever and resulting translation of the slide member.

A first cam groove and cam follower mechanism is provided between the mating assist lever and the slide member, whereby pivotal movement of the lever relative to the first connector effects linear movement of the slide member relative to the first connector. A second connector is provided with a second cam groove and cam follower mechanism between the slide member and the second connector, whereby the connectors are mated and unmated in response to rotation of the mating assist lever and resulting translation of the slide member. A latch member is provided on the slide member and is latchingly engageable with the first connector and releasable by the second connector, whereby the slide member and the mating assist lever cannot move unless the connectors are at least preliminarily mated.

Abstract: A lever type electrical connector assembly includes a first connector having a first housing mounting a plurality of first terminals. A mating assist lever is pivotally movably mounted on the first connector for movement in a pivotal operating stroke between a pre-mated position at one end of the stroke and a fully mated position at an opposite end of the stroke. A second connector includes a second housing mateable with the first housing of the first connector. A coupling is provided between the mating assist lever and the second connector, whereby the connectors are mated and unmated in response to pivotal movement of the lever between its pre-mated and mated positions. Interengaging interference surfaces are provided at spaced locations between the first and second housings of the first and second connectors, respectively. The interference surfaces are engageable when the mating assist lever is at an intermediate point between the opposite ends of its operating stroke.
