Title:
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT OF ENTITLEMENTS IN A DISTRIBUTED DATA PROCESSING ENVIRONMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005015387
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method, system, and computer program product is presented for restricting access to a set of resources in a distributed data processing system. A server determines a set of authorized resources for which a user is authorized to access; the set of authorized resources is a subset of the set of resources that are operational within the distributed data processing system. An evaluation is made about the availability of the set of authorized resources based upon state information about the set of authorized resources. A list of a set of entitled resources for the user is then generated; the set of entitled resources is a subset of the set of authorized resources. An indication of the set of entitled resources may be sent to the user, after which the system would respond to requests for the user to access the set of entitled resources.
