1. A method of establishing a global unique identifier for access control, comprising:

  • obtaining, by an identity server, a plurality of identifiers each used individually for identity-based access control and correspondingly obtained from a disparate data source, the plurality of identifiers being associated with a user of a network and each individually uniquely identifying the user;

    resolving a conflict between the plurality of identifiers; and

    establishing a global unique identifier for access control by generating a join of the plurality of identifiers, wherein the global unique identifier consolidates disparate forms of identification associated with the user from the plurality of data sources.
