Abstract: Embodiments provide a computer implemented method in a data processing comprising a processor and a memory including instructions, which are executed by the processor to cause the processor to implement the method of terminating a connection between a database server and a database client through an enforcement point, the method including: continuously monitoring, by the enforcement point, information related to a connection to a database, and parsing one or more queries; continuously comparing, by the enforcement point, the information with a predefined plurality of rules, and checking whether there is a rule violation; if there is a rule violation, assembling, by the enforcement point, a termination packet including an error message indicative of the rule violation; sending, by the enforcement point, the termination packet to the database client; and terminating, by the enforcement point, a connection between the enforcement point and the database client.

Abstract: Embodiments can provide a computer implemented method in a data processing system including a processor and a memory having instructions, which are executed by the processor to cause the processor to implement the method for accessing a shared resource. The method includes the following steps: identifying a process having elevated privileges as a background process; providing an authorized user list including at least one user identification number; providing a communication endpoint connectable to a user or a program; receiving a user identification number of the user or the program through the communication endpoint; checking whether the user identification number is in the authorized user list. If the user identification number is in the list, a file descriptor associated with the shared resource is provided; and the file descriptor is transferred to the user or the program through the communication endpoint.
