Dynamic authentication in alternate operating environment

摘要

Systems and methods that employ dynamic credentials across distinct authentication standards can be used to reduce the burden associated with repeated re-authentication. A utility can be employed during logon in an alternate operating environment that stores information from the logon dynamically and generates a credential file that is employed to grant access to a resource without repeating the earlier logon procedure, even if the device changes its user state. After processes requiring resource access are complete, or when an allowed time expires, the granted access is revoked and the device returns to a default or standard authentication technique.

1. A system for defining access to remote resources, comprising:
a processor; a first access control that defines access to a remote resource based at least in part on a client credential; a second access control that defines access to the remote resource based at least in part on a client identifier, wherein the second access control maintains access to the remote resource for one or more endpoints such that one or more of the endpoints has persistent access to the remote resource after a reboot for the respective endpoint; an image component that images one or more of the endpoints based at least in part on the remote resource and applies firmware updates to respective endpoints based on hardware of one or more the endpoints; and a utility component that integrates the first access control and the second access control into a client environment, wherein the first access control, the second access control, the image component, or the utility component are implemented via the processor.
