METHOD AND DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR INTERCEPTING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A CLIENT AND A SERVICE

摘要

A method and data processing system for intercepting communication between a user and a service. An authentication component receives, from the user, a user request directed to the service. The authentication component adds a user-specific token to the user request to generate a tokenized request. The tokenized request includes the user request and the token. The token includes a unique user identifier that identifies the user. The authentication component sends the tokenized request to a proxy. The proxy sends the tokenized request to the service. The proxy invokes an interceptor plug-in that is plugged into the proxy. The interceptor plug-in ascertains that the unique user identifier in the tokenized request is present in an interception control list of unique user identifiers. The interception control list is accessible to the interceptor plug-in. The interceptor plug-in sends the tokenized request to an interceptor manager who stores the tokenized request.
