  • Patent number: 9531612
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling rates for a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) over MQSeries (LoM) server. The system includes a health metrics engine that calculates an actual delay value, a LoM server that asynchronously obtains the actual delay value from the health metrics engine and place the delay value between one or more requests, and a LDAP master that accepts the one or more requests and send information in the one or more requests to a LDAP replica.

  • Patent number: 9160792
    Abstract: A method and system for measuring performance and balancing workload of sites, virtual clusters and servers within the virtual clusters is provided. A monitor measures and computes performance metrics at each level. Servers are individually measured for performance and based on average response time of servers that are members of a virtual cluster, a virtual cluster performance metric may also be computed. Further, the performance of a site may be profiled based on the virtual cluster metrics and/or server performance metrics. Based at least in part on these performance metrics, a domain oriented request may be resolved and routed based in part on the performance metrics at each level virtual cluster and server. In this manner, a request may be directed to a destination server to achieve higher performance and efficiencies for the requesting client while at the same time balancing workload among possible servers available to service the request.

  • Patent number: 8782225
    Abstract: A method and system for measuring performance and balancing workload of sites and servers is provided. The method includes measuring performance of one or more servers located at different sites of the network and computing a performance metric for each of the sites or one or more servers at each of the sites. The method further includes providing a bias to the performance metric and routing a request to one of the different sites or one of the one or more servers based on the biased performance metric.

  • Patent number: 8205254
    Abstract: A method is provided to control access to a software application and, more particularly, to control access to a first software application using a second trusted application. The method comprises extracting data from a decrypted client request and determining a request type from the extracted data. The method further comprises ascertaining an entry type value from at least one of the extracted data and an entry and creating at least one string by prepending the entry type value to one or more attributes associated with the entry. Additionally, the method includes comparing the at least one string to one or more record entries to determine whether a client has permission to perform the request type.

  • Patent number: 7793335
    Abstract: The present invention provides a computer-implemented method, system, and program product for managing log-in strikes in a geographically distributed computer infrastructure. Specifically, under the present invention, when a strike message is received on a strikeout server pursuant to an incorrect password input during an attempted log-in of a user, the incorrect password is compared to a strike list to determine if it was previously received on the strikeout server during a predetermined period of time. Based on this determination, the incorrect password and will be stored in a list on the strikeout server with a corresponding timestamp. Thereafter, the strike message and the timestamp will be replicated to all other strikeout servers in the infrastructure.
