A single sign-on (SSO) mechanism to enable a given user to access a target application on a target resource in a distributed computer enterprise. One or more configuration directives each identifying a given logon process and any associated methods required to access the target application on the target resource are stored in a locally accessible database (CIM). For each of a set of users, a globally-accessible database (PKM) stores user-specific and application-specific information enabling the user to access and logon to one or more target resources. During a particular session, a logon coordinator (LC) mechanism coordinates given user information with the configuration directive to enable the given user to perform a given action with respect to the target application without specifying the given logon process and the application-specific information.
A method of single sign-on to multiple target resources in a computer enterprise environment, wherein at least some target resources normally require a given logon process to access the target resource, comprising the steps of:
A system for enabling access to a target application on a target resource in a distributed computer enterprise, comprising:
A computer program product in computer-readable media operable on a computer for enabling access to a target application on a target resource in a distributed computer enterprise, comprising:
