- (a) receiving a request from a client for access to a resource;
(b) identifying a rule having a rule priority level and associated with;
i) a filter, ii) at least one method for providing access to the resource, and iii) a server in a plurality of servers;
(c) applying the filter, the filter identifying at least one pre-requisite to accessing the resource;
(d) determining that the client satisfies the at least one pre-requisite, responsive to applying the filter;
(e) determining whether to provide access to the resource to the client by the server in the plurality of servers according to the at least one method for providing access to the resource; and

Abstract
A method for access routing and resource mapping using filters includes the step of receiving a request from a client for access to a resource. A rule is identified, the rule having a rule priority level and associated with: i) a filter, ii) at least one method for providing access to the resource, and iii) a server in a plurality of servers. The filter is applied, the filter identifying at least one pre-requisite to accessing the resource. A determination is made that the client satisfies the at least one pre-requisite, responsive to applying the filter. A determination is made regarding whether to provide access to the resource to the client by the server in the plurality of servers according to the at least one method for providing access to the resource. The server in the plurality of servers provides access to the resource for the client according to the at least one method for providing access to the resource.

34. A system for access routing and resource mapping using filters comprising:
-
a rule having a first rule priority level and comprising; an identification of a filter identifying at least one pre-requisite to accessing the resource, an identification of at least one method for providing access to a resource, and an identification of a server in a plurality of servers; a policy engine comprising means for identifying the rule, means for applying the filter to a client requesting access to the resource, means for determining that the client satisfies the at least one pre-requisite, responsive to applying the filter, and means for determining whether to provide access to the resource to the client by the server in the plurality of servers according to the at least one method for providing access to the resource;
whereinthe server in the plurality of servers provides access to the resource according to the at least one method for providing access. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43)
