System and method for managing security access for users to network systems
First Claim
1. An enterprise directory system configured to manage security access for a plurality of users to a plurality of different network systems connected to a network, the enterprise directory system comprising:
- a processing system configured to process an individual request message from each of the plurality of different network systems to generate an individual response message for each of the plurality of different network systems that includes access rights for one of the plurality of users, and process a single termination message to generate individual termination messages for each of the plurality of different network systems that includes an instruction to terminate the access rights for the one of the plurality of users; and
an interface system coupled to the processing system and configured to receive the individual request messages from each of the plurality of different network systems, receive the single termination message, transmit the individual response messages to each of the plurality of different network systems, and transmit the individual termination messages to each of the plurality of different network systems for the processing system.

Abstract
A network security system for managing access to a plurality of different network systems for a plurality of users. The network security system includes an enterprise directory system configured to process request messages from each of the network systems requesting access rights for a user to generate a response message for each of the network systems that includes the access rights for the user. The enterprise directory system is also configured to process a single termination message to generate an individual termination message for each of the network systems that includes an instruction to terminate the access rights for one of the users. The resource directory is configured to receive an instruction to terminate the access rights for the corresponding user and process the instruction to generate the termination message for the enterprise directory system.
