摘要:
A method and apparatus for providing access control to objects in a distributed network directory employing static resolution to resolve object attributes. A first object has a Security Equals attribute and a second object has an Equivalent To Me attribute. Upon receiving a request for the first object to access the second object, authorization of such access is verified by checking if the two attributes are synchronized. The attributes are synchronized when the Security Equals attribute of the first object includes the second object, and the Equivalent To Me attribute of the second object includes the first object. A method of synchronizing the two attributes is also disclosed.

摘要:
A method of providing authoritative access control to computer networks that employs a distributed network directory using a static means of resolving object attributes is disclosed. The method employs the existing directories and an authentication procedure for each server. A first object that is under the physical control of the administrator of one partition of the distributed network directory requests access to a second object that is under the physical control of the administrator of another partition of the distributed network directory. The directory verifies that the access control list of the first object includes the second object. The access control list of the second object is then checked to verify that it includes a reference to the first object as an object that is permitted access to the second object. As a result, access is only granted in response to requests from objects that appear in the access control list of the second object. A method of synchronizing the access control lists based upon an authoritative access control list is also disclosed.
摘要:
A user engages in a transaction with a relying party. The relying party requests identity information from the user in a security policy and identifies transaction elements for an on-line business transaction. Typically, the security policy and transaction elements are transmitted together; the security policy can be as little as a request to conduct the on-line business transaction. The user identifies an information card that satisfies the security policy. The computer system requests a security token from the identity provider managing the information card, which can include requesting a transaction receipt for the transaction elements. The computer system then returns the security token (and the transaction receipt) to the relying party, to complete the transaction.

A method of moving leaf objects and subtrees in computer networks that employ a distributed network directory is disclosed. The method employs the existing directories and an authentication procedure for each server. A first object that is under the physical control of the administrator of one partition of the distributed network directory requests access to a second object that is under the physical control of the administrator of another partition of the distributed network directory. The directory verifies that the access control list of the first object includes the second object. The access control list of the second object is then checked to verify that it includes a reference to the first object as an object that is permitted access to the second object. As a result, access is only granted in response to requests from objects that appear in the access control list of the second object. a method of synchronizing the access control lists based upon an authoritative access control list is also disclosed.

摘要:
A relying party can have a security policy. The security policy can include claims that are categorized other than “required” and “optional”. The user can specify, in a user policy, whether or not to include in a request for a security token from an identity provider claims that are not “required”.
摘要:
A computer system accesses metadata about an information card. The metadata can be stored locally or remotely (for example, at an identity provider). A metadata engine can be used to generate data to be provided to the user from the metadata: this data can take any desired form, such as an advertisement, a state of the user's account, or a policy update, among other possibilities.
摘要:
Methods and systems are provided for controlling access to objects in a hierarchical database. The database may include a directory services repository, and/or synchronized partitions. An access constraint propagator reads an access control property of an ancestor of a target object. The access control property designates an inheritable access constraint such as an object class filter or an "inheritable" flag. The object class filter restricts a grant of rights to objects of an identified class. The "inheritable" flag allows inheritance of an access constraint on a specific object property. The propagator enforces the inheritable access constraint by applying it to at least the target object.
