  • Apparatus, system, and method for sharing a cached security profile in a database environment
    Patent number: 7296151
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are provided for sharing a cached security profile in a database environment. The apparatus, system, and method include a cache module for caching a security profile accessible to primary tasks and secondary tasks. An identification module is provided that distinguishes between primary tasks authorized to refresh the security profile and secondary tasks. A refresh module cooperates with the cache module and identification module to selectively refresh the security profile in response to a refresh request and expiration of the security profile such that an old version of the security profile is retained for use by secondary tasks until an execution window closes.

  • Method, computer program product, and system for global refresh of cached user security profiles
    Patent number: 7107422
    Abstract: A master dynamic aging value associated with the client is calculated responsive to an operator command to perform the global refresh. When receiving a request from a user associated with the client, a sub-dynamic aging value associated with a cached user security profile for the user is compared to the master dynamic aging value. If the sub-dynamic aging value is not equal to the master dynamic aging value, then the cached user security profile is refreshed.
