Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A network system server that provides password composition checking for a plurality of clients is disclosed. The network system server includes a main data store, a security server, which is coupled to the main data store and the plurality of clients, a password synchronization server, which is coupled to the security server, a plurality of password strength servers, each of which is coupled to the password synchronization server, that provides password integrity among the plurality of clients so that each client maintains a password whose composition is consistent with the network server system. Each of the password strength servers is uniquely programmable with respect to performing password composition checking.

Abstract: 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.
