  • Method and system for server support of pluggable authorization systems
    Patent number: 7752661
    Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, and computer program product is presented for plugging in a standard authorization system in a manner such that legacy applications can use the authorization APIs and backend remote interfaces of a legacy authorization system. When a legacy application makes a call intended for a routine within the legacy authorization system, the call is redirected to make the appropriate calls to the APIs of the standard authorization system.
    Type: Grant

  • Secure shell protocol access control
    Patent number: 6851113
    Abstract: An enhanced Secure Shell (SSH) protocol having fine-grained access security policy management and enforcement. Via an authorization application programming interface (aznAPI), remote user protocol connections and sessions may be added to the protected object space of a policy management system so that a system administrator may set permissions to access or use a particular secured system resource for each user, and by groups of users. Thus, when a user accesses the system by Secure Shell, rather than having full, unlimited use and access to system resources once authenticated, the user is granted permission to access only the system resources allowed in the security policy or policies.
