First Claim
Patent Images
1. A network system, comprising:
- a network server configured to maintain network access information corresponding to users authorized to access the network system;
a domain controller remotely located from the network server and communicatively linked with the network server, the domain controller configured to cache the network access information; and
the domain controller further configured to track individual users that request access to the network system from the domain controller.

Abstract
A network system server, at a first network site, maintains network access information that identifies users authorized to access a network and a network controller, at a second network site, caches the network access information for individual users that request access to the network from the second network site. The network controller tracks the individual users that request access to the network from the second network site and updates the cached network access information for the individual users that request access to the network from the second network site within a defined time interval.
