8  * Not all <i>Agent Extensions</i> are appropriate for all platforms and environments. For
9  * example, the <i>Enterprise Drives<i> extension only currently works on Windows and so

11  * <p>
12  * When the agent is launched, implementations of this verifier classes are invoked to
13  * check whether the connecting agent is <i>allowed</i> the extension. This is usually
14  * done by checking the <i>clientProperties</i> attribute passed in to
15  * {@link #verifyAccess(String, User)}. The extension may then use stuff
16  * like <i>os.name</i> to make the descision.
