1. A method in a distributed computing domain comprising:

  • distributing administrative objects and user objects to one or more application servers;

    allowing a user to declare in a list which objects residing on each application server are to be protected;

    reading said list by an interceptor;

    responsive to exportation of a Common Object Request Broker Architecture (“

    CORBA”

    ) compliant Interoperable Object Reference (“

    IOR”

    ) for a listed object, associating by said interceptor one or more application server security flags with interfaces to said listed objects by tagging components of the IOR with one or more security flags; and

    performing one or more security operations by an application server according to said security flags tagged to said IOR when a client accesses an application server-stored object, said security operations including an operation besides establishing secure communications between said client process and said server-stored object.
