Abstract: A policy server program evaluates one or more policy statements based on the group or groups to which a user belongs as well as other conditions. Each policy statement expresses an implementation of the access policy of the network, and is associated with a profile. The profile contains one or more actions that are to be applied to the user. The policy server program determines the identity of the group or groups to which the user belongs by referencing one or more group attributes contained in a user object which is located in a directory on the network. The user object and its group parameters are established when the user is added to the directory, while a policy statement for a group can be created at any time.

Abstract: Providing tracking of operations in an automated business process includes executing a workflow that includes business operations defined at nodes in the business process. The business rules are applied to the workflow at the nodes such that the operations are affected by the rule content. The business rules can be optionally changed and subsequently, the changed business rules can be applied to the workflow during execution without stopping execution of the workflow. A correlation mechanism is provided between the business rules applied to the operations nodes and the corresponding affected operations. The workflow and rule engine processors are integrated providing correlation and tracking of the workflow progress. A declarative method of expressing changes to the business rules is included. An optional query function to retrieve information relative to the operation being performed enhances performance of the workflow.
