IDENTITY AND ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A method and system for providing access control to networked resources is provided. Optimally, the system comprises at least one networked resource coupled to t he internet via a gateway having a 'private' or'intenal' side coupled to an intranet, and a 'public' or'external' side coupled to the internet, and the gateway controls access to the resourc e. An access controller is coupled to the external side of the gateway, i.e. outside the intranet. Upon access request by an access requester, the gateway communicates the request to the access controller. The access controller utilizes the requested URL to select a log in applet that is communicated to the requester. When the requester returns the login information, the access controller authenticates the user and generates an access management applet specific to the user. The access management applet controls access to the networked resource s in conjunction with code on the gateway. Additional optional features include auditing and the capacity to provide access to several organizations using a single login.
