Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system includes a processor(s) obtaining an authorization failure from a target application because an access request was denied based on insufficient permissions of a user. The processor(s) institutes a mock interface with a visual appearance of the target application. The mock interface displays predefined data and the target application displays dynamic data, from the server(s) executing the target application. The processor(s) obtains, via the mock interface, a request to change the permissions of the user to the target application, which includes a selection, by the user, through the mock interface, of one or more individual permissions displayed in the mock interface. The processor(s) automatically generates a customized security policy comprising the selection, where based on applying the customized security policy, repeating the access request results in authorized access to the target application.

Abstract: A packet transmission method is applied to a communication device including a first MPU, a second MPU, and an LPU. The first MPU is connected to the LPU through a first transmission channel. The second MPU is connected to the LPU through a second transmission channel. During packet transmission, a service flow packet is transmitted through the first transmission channel, and a non-service flow packet is transmitted through the second transmission channel. Therefore, the service flow packet and the non-service flow packet are processed by different MPUs, so that the service flow packet and the non-service flow packet do not compete with each other. In this way, transmission efficiency of the non-service flow packet is improved. In addition, when the first MPU is attacked by an abnormal service flow packet, the second MPU is not affected, and may normally perform operation and maintenance management.
