What is Apollo?

Apollo is a mainframe based authorization repository which provides developers a way to set up authorization schema profiles for their applications.  Users can set up customized applications, authorize individuals or groups for that application, and then query Apollo for their authorization status. 

You can read more about Apollo here: Apollo Service.
