摘要:
State management (cookie) data is encrypted so that access control data included in the cookie is unable to be modified by the user. A hashing algorithm is performed using various fields in the cookie data and the hash value is encrypted. The hash value is combined with other data such as the user identifier and a time stamp and encrypted to form a cookie value. When a request is received, the cookie data is checked. If the token value is not in the server's cache then the token is authenticated facilitating movement of the client between servers. If the cookie does not exist or is timed out, then the user is authenticated using traditional means.

A method and system for providing a declarative trust association model that formalizes the way trust is established and requires corresponding authentication information to be presented in a standard format. Consequently, the application server may provide a guaranteed level of protection. The mechanism of the present invention provides a framework that allows an application server to enforce a trust evaluation and allows reverse proxy security server to assert a client's security identity, as well as other client security credential information. A known trust association interceptor model is extended to allow the reverse proxy security server to assert the authenticated user's security attributes. Such security attributes include, for example, group information, authentication strength, and location (i.e., where does the user enter the request, intranet vs. internet, IP address, etc.,). The security attributes can be used in making authorization decisions.
摘要:
Objects on application servers are distributed to one or more application servers; a user is allowed to declare in a list which objects residing on each application server are to be protected; the list is read by an interceptor; responsive to exportation of a Common Object Request Broker Architecture (“CORBA”) compliant Interoperable Object Reference (“IOR”) for a listed object, the interceptor associates one or more application server security flags with interfaces to the listed objects by tagging components of the IOR with one or more security flags; and one or more security operations are performed by an application server according to the security flags tagged to the IOR when a client accesses an application server-stored object, the security operations including an operation besides establishing secure communications between the client process and the server-stored object.
摘要:
Objects on application servers may be defined into classes which receive different levels of security protection, such as definition of user objects and administrative objects. Domain-wide security may be enforced on administrative objects, which user object security may be configured separately for each application server in a domain. In a CORBA architecture, IOR's for shared objects which are to be secured on a domain-wide basis, such as administrative objects, are provided with tagged components during IOR creation and exporting to a name server. Later, when the IOR is used by a client, the client invokes necessary security measures such as authentication, authorization and transport protection according to the tagged components.

Run-as credentials delegation using identity assertion is presented. A server receives a request from a client that includes the client's user identifier and password. The server authenticates the client and stores the client's user identifier without the corresponding password in a client credential storage area. The server determines if a run-as command is specified to communicate with a downstream server. If a run-as command is specified, the server retrieves a corresponding run-as identity which identifies whether a client credential type, a server credential type, or a specific identifier credential type should be used in the run-as command. The server retrieves an identified credential corresponding to the identified credential type, and sends the identified credential in an identity assertion token to a downstream server.

摘要:
A security policy process which provides role-based permissions for hierarchically organized system resources such as domains, clusters, application servers, and resources, as well as topic structures for messaging services. Groups of permissions are assigned to roles, and each user is assigned a role and a level of access within the hierarchy of system resources or topics. Forward or reverse inheritance is applied to each user level-role assignment such that each user is allowed all permissions for ancestors to the assigned level or descendants to the assigned level. This allows simplified security policy definition and maintenance of user permissions as each user's permission list must only be configured and managed at one hierarchical level with one role.

摘要:
An approach is provided that allows an administrator to set a new password at a wireless access point, such as a traditional WAP or a wireless router. The wireless access point creates a message that includes the new password. The message is encrypted using the old password that was previously set for the wireless network. The encrypted message is wirelessly transmitted from the wireless access point to the active client devices (those clients currently accessing the wireless network). The clients decrypt the message using the old password that was previously provided to the clients. The clients retrieve the new password from the message. The clients construct a new message that is encrypted using the new password. The new message is wirelessly transmitted from the clients to the wireless access device and serves as an acknowledgement.
