Access control in a hybrid environment

摘要

A heterogeneous computing system includes a first server module having a first operating system, a second server module communicatively coupled to the first server module, the second server module having a second operating system dissimilar to the first operating system, a data set accessible by the first server module and the second server module; and a process residing on the first server module, the process configured to grant access to the second server module, from the first server module, to the data set.

主权项

1. A computer program product including a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions for causing a computer to implement a heterogeneous operating system data access method, the method comprising:
receiving, in a first computing system having a first operating system, a request from a second computing system to access a data set, wherein the second computing system has a second operating system dissimilar to the first operating system; preparing, by the first computing system, the data set for access by the second computing system; determining, by the first computing system, characteristics of the data set; passing the characteristics of the data set from the first computing system to the second computing system; setting, by the first computing system, permissions for the second computing system to access the data set;
confirming, in the second computing system, that the second computing system has been granted access to the data set;coordinating, in the second computing system, access to the data set;granting the second computing system, by the first computing system, access to the data set, the access including a type of access and an extent of the type of access to which the second computing system can access the data set; and notifying, from the second computing system to the first computing system, that the second computing system accessed the data set.
