A first application is constrained from calling a middleware subsystem, where the middleware subsystem is able to access at least one feature selected from among a basic input/output system (BIOS) and hardware. The first application accesses the middleware system through a proxy, where accessing the middleware subsystem allows the first application to communicate with the at least one feature.

Proxy for accessing a middleware subsystem

A computer system has first and second password-protectable domains. The first domain has a multi-domain password manager for determining whether a password candidate is valid for both the first domain and the second domain. If so, the password manager submits the password candidate to the second domain.
