A client system may be configured to request a single sign on authentication, in which an identity certificate is provided by the client system and stored by a server system. The stored certificate may be used to later authenticate a secure connection between the client system and the server system, after validating that the user represented by the certificate is a legitimate registered user of the server. The secure connection validated by the stored certificate may be, for example, a secure sockets layer/transport layer security (SSL/TLS) connection.

Single sign on system for secure networks

A web interface may generate reports regarding changes in user security parameters in a computer network. The report may ease administrator's duties analyzing log files to determine the modifications to user accounts. The administrator may be presented with an option to revert a user to a prior state of user security parameters. Thus, the interface provides the administrator the ability to generate reports and modify user accounts from a single web page.

User security comparison and reversion

The invention provides an improved automated system and method for monitoring the states of other systems. In one embodiment, the inventive system and method may be employed by an operations console that is monitoring the state of one or more data processing systems. According to the invention, a set of states is defined to describe events or conditions occurring within the monitored systems. A set, or 'family', of files is defined, wherein the family includes an associated file for each of the defined states. When one or more of the monitored systems are determined to be in a predetermined state, data signals stored within the associated file may be used to generate some type of signal that may be readily perceived by the operator to determined the state. For example, the data signals may be used to generate a visual or audio representation of the state.
