A method, system and apparatus for requesting a plurality of credentials from a trusted entity. A local validation device (LVD) receives a credential request or an identifier from each of a plurality of user devices. The LVD generates or compiles a bundle of credential requests corresponding to the plurality of user devices. The LVD transmits the bundle of credentials requests to the MVD. The MVD receives the bundle of request and performs a validation for each request in the bundle and then communicates the credentials and/or the results of the validations to the LVD. The LVD communicates credentials to each of the plurality of user devices. In some cases, the LVD performs the validation for each credential request. For instance, the LVD can receive a local enforcement policy from the MVD, which can provide instructions or guidance to the LVD as to how to perform the validations.

Remote processing of credential requests

Techniques for network process identity enablement are provided. Inter-server communications within a network are intercepted so that unique identity-based information is gathered and recorded before a sending process is permitted to release a communication over the network to a receiving process. Moreover, the receiving process cannot process the communication being sent until identifying information is gathered again and independently validated against the prior recorded information.

Techniques for network process identity enablement

System and method for implementing a floating index navigation tool are described. In one embodiment, the method includes, in response to a user's updating a search term, building first and second search queries; issuing the first and second search queries to at least one database comprising a searchable index of content; and responsive to receipt of search results from the first and second search queries, displaying the first query search results in a first manner and displaying the second query search results in a second manner different than the first manner.

System and method for floating index navigation

System and method for mapping a location of each of a plurality of devices in a data center. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving image data comprising an image of at least a portion of the data center from a source; processing the image data to locate visual identifiers displayed in the image, wherein each of the visual identifiers is associated with one of the devices or with a spatial reference point; extracting the located visual identifiers and determining spatial coordinates for each of the identified visual identifiers from the image; and determining the spatial reference points from the image. The method further comprises developing groups based on extracted visual identifiers and spatial coordinates thereof and the spatial reference points, wherein allowances are made for an angle of the image, wherein each group comprises a subset of related ones of the devices; for each group, comparing each of the visual identifiers of the group with a key to determine information regarding the associated device to obtain processing results; and combining processing results corresponding to multiple images to remove redundant information and produce final results.
