Method of controlling access by an application or a user of an application to the management information base via the communications infrastructure

摘要

A method for controlling access to a management information base (MIB), via a communication framework (FW) between applications (A, B, C, D, ...), by a given application or application user transmitting a request to one or more specified objects in a distributed management environment. The method comprises checking the access rights of the application or application user connected directly (A, B, C) or indirectly (D) to the communication framework, said rights being defined in an element of a capacity list stored in a database. A capacity consists of a class or set of classes of objects containing the specified object(s) and a set of authorised and ordered operations. The operation corresponds to the transmitted request and, when authorised, is carried out on instances of the specified object(s) in the object class. The processed objects are heterogeneous.
