Abstract
To provide an access control service and control server for protecting a computer from an Illegal access such as a password cracking, in a terminal service and other related services. An access server 3 includes an authentication manager 7 for authenticating a user to operate a terminal, and an ACE manager 9 for setting a network link that enables communication between a terminal 1 that the user operates and a specific computer unit 2, to a hub 4 in accordance with a result of the authentication. Information on each user and information on the specific computer unit 2 that the each user can use are associated with each other and registered in the ACE manager 9.
Claims27
An access control service carrying out communication by connecting one or more computer units with one or more terminals via a network to access from the terminal to the computer unit, the access control service comprising a control server for authenticating a user to operate the terminal and for setting a network link that enables communication between the terminal that the user operates and the specific computer unit in accordance with a result of the authentication.
An access control service carrying out communication by connecting one or more computer units with one or more terminals via a network to access from the terminal to the computer unit, the access control service comprising:
- a shared storage coupled to each of the computer units, having an available storage area assigned to each user;
- and
- a control server for authenticating a user to operate the terminal, mounting the storage area within the storage assigned to the user in accordance with a result of the authentication in any of the computer units, and setting a network link that enables communication between a terminal that the user operates and the mounted computer unit.
In a computer system in which one or more computer units and one or more terminals are coupled via a network, a control server for controlling communication between the terminal and the computer unit, comprising:
- an authentication manager for authenticating a user to operate the terminal;
- and
- a link manager for setting a network link that enables communication between a terminal that the user operates and the specific computer unit in accordance with a result of the authentication.
In a computer system in which one or more computer units and one or more terminals are coupled via a network, a control server for controlling communication between the terminal and the computer unit,
- wherein each of the computer units is coupled with a shared storage in which an available storage area is assigned to each user,
- the control server comprising:
- an authentication manager for authenticating the user to operate the terminal;
- a computer unit manager for mounting the storage area within the storage assigned to the user, to any of the computer units in accordance with a result of the authentication;
- and
- a link manager for setting a network link that enables communication between a terminal that the user operates and the mounted computer unit.
An access control service carrying out communication by connecting one or more terminals and a storage via a network to access from the terminal to the storage,
- wherein the storage is a shared storage that is coupled to each of the terminals and has an available storage area assigned to each user,
- the control service comprising:
- a control server for authenticating the user to operate the terminal, mounting, in a terminal that the user operates, the storage area within the storage assigned to the user in accordance with a result of the authentication in the terminal the user operates, and setting a network link that enables communication between the terminal the user operates and the storage.
In a computer system in which one or more terminals and a storage are coupled via a network, a control server for controlling communication between the terminal and the storage,
- wherein the storage is a shared storage that is coupled with each of the terminals and has an available storage area assigned to each user,
- the control server comprising:
- an authentication manager for authenticating the user to operate the terminal;
- a computer unit manager for mounting the storage area within the storage assigned to the user in accordance with a result of the authentication, in a terminal that the user operates;
- and
- a link manager for setting a network link that enables the communication between the terminal that the user operates and the storage.
