US 8,266,262 B2 · Providing network security services for multiple requesters

Abstract

A security initialization system receives a first initialization request from a first requester to access a first database storing security data and stores context data for the first initialization request that identifies an initialization operation associated with the first database. The security initialization system receives a second initialization request from a second requester to access a second database storing security data and updates the context data to identify an initialization operation associated with the second database. The security initialization system receives a shut down request from one of the requesters, where the shut down request includes data for identifying a corresponding initialization operation in the context data. The security initialization system updates the context data to show that the corresponding initialization operation has a shut down request and determines whether a security module is to be shut down using the context data.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

creating, by a client computing system, context data in response to a first database access request from a first requester to access a first security database storing security data, wherein the context data indicates the first security database is open for the first requester;
modifying the context data in response to a second database access request from a second requester to access a second security database storing security data, wherein the modification indicates the second security database is open for the second requester;
updating the context data to indicate that a database shutdown request to close an open security database is received from one of the requesters, wherein the database shutdown request identifies one of the first requester or the second requester and a security database to be closed;
and
determining whether to shutdown a security module that is managing opening of the first security database and the second security database in response to the database shutdown request using the context data.
