Abstract: Specifications of digital certificate validation security policies for a server within an intranet environment are received. A first one of the policies is specified to be applied for an intranet network connection and a second for a network connection outside the intranet. Each of the first and second policies includes a plurality of different configurable individual settings to enable or disable corresponding individual components of a plurality of different component digital certificate validation checks. A determination is made to establish a connection with a network destination and a digital certificate from the destination is received. One of the policies to apply for the connection is identified. For each of the plurality of the different component checks, a determination is made based on the identified policy whether to perform the component check for the received certificate. Any of the plurality of the different component checks determined to be performed are performed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing a network attached storage system which does not require specialized hardware to operate. In one embodiment, a downloadable software package is provided via a web interface. After a user has downloaded and installed the software package, a sharable volume is created upon a host system. In one embodiment, the sharable volume is adapted to present the contents of one or more remote systems to the host system as a local file, drive, or directory. One or more processes resident in the host system are adapted to intercept a command interpretable by the host system and translate the command into one or more commands interpretable by at least one remote system. The one or more commands are then serviced by at least one remote system and a result set is generated. The result set may then be converted into a format interpretable by the host system and output accordingly.

Abstract: An embodiment includes executing a discovery pattern for the certificate authority, where the discovery pattern contains instructions for obtaining one or more digital certificates from the certificate authority; obtaining, from the certificate authority, a representation of a digital certificate acquired by a managed network from the certificate authority; storing, in a first set of mappings, a first new mapping between the certificate authority and the digital certificate; receiving, from a computing device disposed with the managed network, an indication that the digital certificate is installed on the computing device;, storing, in a second set of mappings, a second new mapping between the digital certificate and the computing device; determining that the digital certificate is expired; and storing, in a third set of mappings, a third new mapping between the digital certificate and a critical status indicator.
