  • Computer system security service
    Patent number: 7757271
    Abstract: A security service of computer networks having a policy builder, an LDAP-compliant database, a validator and an API. The policy builder component provides a graphical user interface to be used by a policy manager to define access policies for users seeking to access network services and resources. The graphical user interface has a grid of nodes representing access policies. The grid is arranged to correspond to a defined tree structure representing services and resources and a business relationship tree structure representing users. The graphical user interface permits the policy manager to define policy builder plug-ins for access policy customization. The LDAP-compliant database maintains the policy builder plug-ins. The validator component receives requests from users and queries the LDAP-compliant database to obtain relevant access policies as defined by the policy manager.
