  • Patent number: 7155737
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for securely executing access control functions that may be customized by or on behalf of administrators of information access systems. Examples of such functions include changing a password of a user, determining whether or not data specifying a user and a password identifies an authentic user, and displaying a message indicating whether a login attempt was successful. An access control function is mapped to a digital signature. The digital signature is used to verify that an executable element retrieved for executing the access control function is the proper executable element. The access control functions may be invoked upon the occurrence of access control events, such as a user successfully logging onto an information access system or the modification of a user's password. A mapping contains data used to determine what events are tied to what access control functions, and whether the access control function should be executed.

  • Patent number: 6453353
    Abstract: A single secure sign-on gives a user access to authorized Web resources, based on the user's role in the organization that controls the Web resources. The information resources are stored on a protected Web server. A user of a client or browser logs in to the system. A runtime module on the protected server receives the login request and intercepts all other request by the client to use a resource. The runtime module connects to an access server that can determine whether a particular user is authentic and which resources the user is authorized to access. User information is associated with roles and functional groups of an organization to which the user belongs; the roles are associated with access privileges. The access server connects to a registry server that stores information about users, roles, functional groups, resources, and associations among them. The access server and registry server exchange encrypted information that authorized the user to use the resource.

  • Patent number: 6161139
    Abstract: Described is a method that comprises storing information that defines administration roles, that associates a user with one or more of the administrative roles, and that associates each administration role with one or more administrative privileges. An administrative privilege authorizes at least one administrative function. When the user requests the execution of an administrative function, the requests is honored only when one of the user's administrative roles includes an administrative privilege that authorizes the requested administrative function. In addition, information is stored that associates each of a plurality of users with one or more administrative roles. At least two users administer the access control computer system from different locations, or from computers connected to two different local area networks. Information associating a user with one or more administrative roles may be stored in a cookie, which may be encrypted.
