LIGHT-WEIGHT CREDENTIAL SYNCHRONIZATION

摘要

Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to credential synchronization. In aspects, an entity may have access to resources on two or more systems. After the entity's credentials are changed on a first system, the first system updates the credentials on a second system so that the entity can access resources on the second system using the new credentials. The first system maintains a mapping data structure that maps between the credentials data of the two systems. The first system may obtain credential requirements from the second system and provide these requirements in conjunction with receiving a request to change credentials so that a user changing the credentials may satisfy both systems.
