Abstract

Method for accessing management for a portal. The method includes obtaining user-specific data from a policy store and accessing an application with the user-specific data. The application is activated with the user-specific data and late binding is used. This method allows for simple and robust authorization on demand.

Claims

1. A method for access management for a portal, comprising the following steps:

obtaining user-specific data from a policy store;

accessing an application with the user-specific data;

activating the application with the user-specific data and wherein late binding is used.

2. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein a relational object model is adopted that holds all user profiles, authorities and filters in the late binding.

3. The method as recited in claim 2, wherein the relational object model also contains fine granular information for each interested party.

4. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising:

accessing a database from the application with user-specific data.

5. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising:

accessing a database as a super-user.

6. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein said method is used for single sign on for a user who is allowed to access a plurality of applications.

7. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein a combination of early and late binding is used.

8. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein a firewall with early binding is used for authorization.

9. The method as recited in claim 2, further comprising:

accessing a database from the application with user-specific data.

10. The method as recited in claim 2, further comprising:

accessing a database as a super-user.

11. The method as recited in claim 2, wherein said method is used for single sign on for a user who is allowed to access a plurality of applications.

12. The method as recited in claim 2, wherein a combination of early and late binding is used.

13. The method as recited in claim 2, wherein a firewall with early binding is used for authorization.

14. The method as recited in claim 3, further comprising:

accessing a database from the application with user-specific data.

15. The method as recited in claim 3, further comprising:

accessing a database as a super-user.

16. The method as recited in claim 3, wherein said method is used for single sign on for a user who is allowed to access a plurality of applications.

17. The method as recited in claim 3, wherein a combination of early and late binding is used.

18. The method as recited in claim 3, wherein a firewall with early binding is used for authorization.

19. A computer program comprising program code for executing the following steps when the program is executed by a computer, said steps comprising:

obtaining user-specific data from a policy store;

accessing an application with the user-specific data; and

activating the application with the user-specific data and wherein late binding is used.

20. Computer program product comprising program code stored on a medium that can be read by computer for carrying out the following steps when the program is executed by a computer, said steps comprising:

obtaining user-specific data from a policy store;

accessing an application with the user-specific data; and

activating the application with the user-specific data and wherein late binding is used.
