Implementing Organization-Specific Policy During Establishment of an Autonomous Connection Between Computer Resources
First Claim
1. A method for implementing organization-specific policy during establishment of an autonomous connection between computer resources in an environment that provides for a default connection workflow, said default connection workflow comprising default credentials for connecting a first computer resource to a second computer resource, and an alternative connection workflow, said alternative connection workflow comprising alternative credentials based on said organization-specific policy for connecting said first computer resource to said second computer resource, said method comprising:
- evaluating a relative priority of said default credentials and said alternative credentials to establish which of said default credentials and said alternative credentials are priority credentials; and
establishing said connection between said first computer resource and said second computer resource based on said priority credentials.

Abstract
An organization-specific policy is implemented during establishment of an autonomous connection between computer resources includes evaluating a relative priority between default credentials and alternative credentials; and using the highest priority credentials to establish a connection between the computer resources. The alternative credentials are based organization-specific policy and provide for autonomous connections between computer resources differently than the default credentials.

20. A computer system for implementing organization-specific code during establishment of an autonomous connection between computer resources, comprising a computer resource with data storage and processing resources comprising:
-
a process configured to create a connection request, said connection request comprising identification of a remote system to which a connection is desired, and an operation to be performed through said connection; process code, said process code configured to receive said connection request and generate a first parameter map containing at least a portion of data contained within said connection request; a credential mapper, said credential mapper being configured to receive said first parameter map, retrieve credentials from a database, apply organization-specific rules, and generate a second parameter map;
said process code receiving said second parameter map and creating a third parameter map;an integration module configured to receive said third parameter map and translate said third parameter map into translated data, said translated data having a format compatible with said remote system, and a handler, said handler configured to receive said translated data and open a connection to said remote system.

21. A computer program product for implementing organization-specific code during an autonomous establishment of a connection between computer resources, the computer program product comprising:
-
a computer usable medium having computer usable program code embodied therewith, the computer usable program code comprising; computer usable program code configured to establish a default connection workflow, said default connection workflow being configured to supply default credentials for connecting a first computer resource to a second computer resource; computer usable program code configured to establishing an alternative connection workflow, said alternative connection workflow being configured to apply organization-specific rules to supply alternative credentials for connecting said first computer resource to said second computer resource; computer usable program code configured to evaluating a relative priority of said default credentials and said alternative credentials to establish which of said default credentials and said alternative credentials are priority credentials; and computer usable program code configured to use said priority credentials to establish said connection between said first computer resource and said second computer resource.
