A system and method for sharing services provides for generating one or more trigger conditions associated with a process executable in a source container having a source namespace in a source pod, executing the process in the source container, and when a trigger condition occurs, interrupting the executed process and moving the process into a target pod by switching from the source namespace of the source container to a target namespace of the target pod. The trigger condition may be associated with a service executable in a target container having the target namespace in the target pod.

Embodiments include method, systems and computer program products for anonymous secure socket layer (SSL) certificate verification in a trusted group. In some embodiments, a device associated with a user receiving a web server certificate from a web server. A message that includes the web server certificate and associated universal resource locator (URL) may be encrypted using a group key and a proxy key. The message may be transmitted to a proxy server. An anonymized request based on the message may be received from the proxy server. An encrypted response may be generated and transmitted to the proxy server. Encrypted and anonymized responses from members of a trusted group may be received. The responses may be processed and an action associated with the web server certificate may be facilitated.

The present invention discloses a system and method for automatic redirection of record-based data access to host files to multiple non-host file systems having non-record-based access comprising a redirector engine, a redirector server and at least one handler. The redirector engine, located on the host side, gets automatic control for each request of a host application (e.g., a read/write request), interprets a property list containing information on whether and how redirection for that request should be processed, makes a redirect decision based on information received from the property list, and establishes a communication with its assigned redirector server. The redirector server, located on a non-host system, handles communication with the redirector engine and the handler, performs data conversions if required and passes control to the handler assigned in the property list. The handler component converts the initial request into a request specific to the non-host file system, controls the execution of the request, and returns the result to the redirector engine. A main advantage of the present invention is that heterogeneous systems using different file systems can work on the same data store without any modification of the host applications themselves. A synchronization of data between the host system and non-host systems can be selected very easily by setting the appropriate parameter in the property list. The data can be stored in different file systems or data stores simultaneously. Finally, the host program is able to access data in different file system, in different encoding formats at the same time in real time.
