AN IDENTITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR ASSIGNING END-USERS WITH ACCESS RIGHTS TO SYSTEMS COUPLED TO A CENTRAL SERVER

摘要

This invention relates to an identity management system for assigning an end-user with access rights to systems coupled to a central server. An input unit is used for receiving a request from the end-user, the request including information identifying the end-user and the requested access rights to the systems. An identity management module generates an electronic access profile for the end-user based on the received request, the electronic access profile including end-user identifier identifying the end-user and access rules associated to the end-user identifier defining the access rights to the systems. A transmitter then transmits the end-user identifier and the associated access rules to the central server, which then establishes access rights to the systems for the end-user by forwarding the received end-user identifier and the access rules to the systems.
