Efficient Identity Mapping With Self-Correction for Cascaded Server Systems
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for identity mapping with self-correction for cascaded server systems, the computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a request to perform a business transaction;
responsive to performing a first server process of the business transaction, identifying remaining servers for performing the business transaction, forming a set of identified servers;
retrieving a user identity for each server in the set of identified servers, wherein the user identity for each server in the set of identified servers is linked to a user registry of a server, forming a set of linked user identities;
generating a data structure comprising the set of linked user identities;
retrieving a user identity for a next server in the set of identified servers from the data structure; and
forwarding the data structure to a next server in the set of identified servers.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and apparatus for identity mapping with self-correction for cascaded server systems is provided. A request to perform a business transaction is received. Responsive to performing a first server process of the business transaction, the servers necessary to perform the business transaction are identified, forming a set of identified servers. A user identity is retrieved for each server in the set of identified servers, wherein the user identity for each server in the set of identified servers is linked to a user registry of a server, forming a set of linked user identities. A data structure comprising the set of linked user identities is created. A user identity for a next server in the set of identified servers is retrieved from the data structure. In addition, the data structure is forwarded to a next server in the set of identified servers.

15. A data processing system for identity mapping with self-correction for cascaded server systems, the data processing system comprising:
-
a bus; a storage device connected to the bus, wherein the storage device contains computer usable code; a communications unit connected to the bus; and a processing unit connected to the bus, wherein the processing unit executes the computer usable code to receive a request to perform a business transaction;
responsive to performing a first server process of the business transaction, identify remaining servers for performing the business transaction, forming a set of identified servers;
retrieve a user identity for each server in the set of identified servers, wherein the user identity for each server in the set of identified servers is linked to a user registry of a server, forming a set of linked user identities;
generate a data structure comprising the set of linked user identities;
retrieve a user identity for a next server in the set of identified servers from the data structure; and
forward the data structure to a next server in the set of identified servers. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
