摘要:
A network system server that provides password synchronization between a main data store and a plurality of secondary data stores is disclosed. The network system server includes a security server, which is coupled to the main data store, a plurality of clients, which is coupled to the security server for accessing the main data store wherein each client maintains a unique, modifiable password, a password synchronization server, which is coupled to security server and the plurality of secondary data stores, and a password repository, which is coupled to the password synchronization server, that stores the passwords. One of the secondary data stores can retrieve the passwords via the password synchronization server so that each client is able to maintain a single, unique password among the plurality of secondary data stores. Password retrieval is instigated by at least one of the plurality of secondary data stores regardless of the current password status of the secondary data stores.

A network system server that provides password synchronization between a main data store and a plurality of secondary data stores is disclosed. The network server further includes a security server, which is coupled to the main data store, a plurality of clients, coupled to the security server for accessing the main data store wherein each client maintains a unique, modifiable password, and a password synchronization server, coupled to the security server and the plurality of secondary data stores, that provides password propagation synchronization to each of the secondary data stores from a user associated with one of the plurality of clients so that user is able to maintain a single, unique password among plurality of secondary data stores. The password propagation is imposed on the plurality of secondary data stores regardless of the current password status of the secondary data stores.
摘要:
A system and method for controlling client access to enterprise resources through a middle tier server. Enterprise resource authorizations are maintained in a middle tier server. Users authenticate with the server causing it to map and transform the client access authorization into enterprise resource credentials. Enterprise resources are accessed after authorizing using the transformed credentials.

A system is presented for facilitating management of user attribute information at one or more attribute information providers (AIPs), which can manage the user's attribute information in accordance with user-selected or administratively-determined options, including options that are stored in attribute release policies and/or dynamically determined during a transaction. E-commerce service providers (ECSPs), such as online banks or merchants, also maintain a relationship with an AIP such that the ECSP can trust the user attribute information that is provided by the AIP on behalf of the user. The user can complete transactions that require user attribute information at any ECSP without having to have previously established a relationship with that particular ECSP. If the ECSP has a relationship with one of the user's AIPs, then the user will be able to direct the ECSP to an AIP when the ECSP needs user attribute information to complete a transaction for the user.

摘要:
An Internet user transfers directly to a domain within an e-community without returning to a home domain or re-authenticating. The user's home domain server prepares and forwards a home domain identity cookie (DIDC) with an enrollment request to a user's browser, with the enrollment request being redirected to an affiliated domain server in the e-community. The affiliated domain server prepares and sends an affiliated DIDC with an enrollment confirmation to the user's browser, redirecting the enrollment confirmation to the home domain server. The home domain server modifies the home DIDC to include a symbol which indicates successful enrollment at the affiliated site. The process may be repeated for a plurality of affiliated domains to achieve automatic enrollment a portion of or an entire e-community.
摘要:
A method is presented in which federated domains interact within a federated environment. Domains within a federation can initiate federated single-sign-on operations for a user at other federated domains. A point-of-contact server within a domain relies upon a trust proxy within the domain to manage trust relationships between the domain and the federation. Trust proxies interpret assertions from other federated domains as necessary. Trust proxies may have a trust relationship with one or more trust brokers, and a trust proxy may rely upon a trust broker for assistance in interpreting assertions. When a user requests to logoff from a domain that has initiated federated single-sign-on operations for the user at other federated domains, the domain initiates a consolidated logoff operation by requesting logoff operations at those other federated domains, which may also initiate logoff operations in a cascaded fashion to the domains at which they have initiated federated single-sign-on operations.

A system, method and article of manufacture for integrating object security service authorization in a distributed computing environment, includes one or more processors, a storage system, a system bus, a display sub-system controlling a display device, a cursor control device, an I/O controller for controlling I/O devices, all connected by system bus an operating system such as the OS/2* operating system program (OS/2 is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation), one or more application programs for executing user tasks and an object oriented control program, such as, DSOM Objects program, which is a commercially available product of International Business Machines Corporation, the object oriented control program including mapping a set of methods defined by a given class to a finite and a fixed set of access rights from which a method required access rights set is assigned, and selecting the access rights set by examining two components, first, a family right type and, second, a set of permissions pertaining to each such family, where the rights type is the component which dictates semantics of its set of permissions. Two family types may be employed, operation rights and role rights. Scalability of embodiments of the invention may be demonstrated by the ability of adding new families of rights types along with a corresponding set of permissions for each family.
