  • Virtual credential adapter for use with virtual machines
    Patent number: 9858110
    Abstract: Managing credential for use with virtual machines includes storing a first virtual credential adapter within a hypervisor executing within a host data processing system. The first virtual credential adapter maintains a credential for a computing resource. Using a processor of the host data processing system, associating the first virtual credential adapter with a first virtual machine. The first virtual credential adapter is associated, at most, with a single virtual machine at any time. Responsive to associating the first virtual credential adapter with the first virtual machine, the first virtual machine accesses the computing resource using the credential maintained by the first virtual credential adapter.
    Type: Grant
