Claims20
A computing device, comprising:
- an environment manager to execute multiple environments concurrently;
- an authentication domain to run in a user management framework (UMF) virtual machine and to support user profile management of the multiple environments.
A method, comprising;
- maintaining, in a privileged virtual machine associated with an environment manager on a computer, a global environment user identity for a user, the global environment user identity including a global environment user identity credential;
- and
- enrolling an environment with the global environment user identity.
A computer-readable storage medium containing instructions that, when executed, cause a computer to:
- maintain. In a privileged virtual machine associated with a hypervisor on a computer, a global environment user identity for a user, the global environment user identify including a global environment user identity credential;
- and
- register an isolated virtual environment with the global environment user identity.
