A method and apparatus for providing authorized remote access to one or more application sessions includes a client node, a collection agent, a policy engine, and a session server. The client node requests access to a resource. The collection agent gathers information about the client node. The policy engine receives the gathered information, and makes an access control decision based on the received information. The session server establishes a connection between a client computer operated by the user and the one or more application sessions associated with the user of the client node identified in response to the received information.

A method and system for assigning access control levels when granting access to resources includes a client node, a collection agent, and a policy engine. The client node requests access to a resource. The collection agent gathers information about the client node. The policy engine receives the gathered information and assigns one of a plurality of levels of access responsive to application of a policy to the received information and transmits the information.

Method and system for assigning access control levels in providing access to networked content files

A method of granting access to resources includes the step of receiving a request from a node to access a resource. A scanning agent is generated to gather information about the node. A key is generated and embedded in the scanning agent. The scanning agent is transmitted to the node and gathers information regarding the node. The scanning agent encrypts the gathered information using the at least one generated key. The encrypted gathered information is received from the scanning agent and decrypted.

Method and system for verification of an endpoint security scan

A method and apparatus for associating session ticket includes a ticketing authority server. The ticketing authority server receives a ticket generation request and information about a client node. It identifies a master session ticket associated in a storage element with the client node. The ticketing authority server then generates a derivative session ticket for the client node and associates the derivative session ticket with the master session ticket. Finally, the ticketing authority server stores information about the client node and the derivative session ticket in the storage element.

Method and apparatus for associating tickets in a ticket hierarchy

A method and apparatus for providing policy-based document control includes a client node, a collection agent, a policy engine, and a transformation server. The client node requests access to a resource. The collection agent gathers information about the client node. The policy engine receives the gathered information and makes an access control decision based on the received information. The transformation server transforms the contents of the file from a native format to a second format and presents the transformed contents of the file to the client node.

A method and apparatus for assigning access control levels when providing access to networked content files includes a client node, a collection agent, and a policy engine. The client node requests access to a resource. The collection agent gathers information about the client node. The policy engine receives the gathered information and assigns one of a plurality of levels of access responsive to application of a policy to the received information.

Method and apparatus for assigning access control levels in providing access to networked content files

A method and apparatus for reducing disclosure of proprietary data in a networked environment includes a client node, an access control server, and an application server farm. The client node transmits a request for a file. The access control server receives the request for the file and makes an access control decision. An application server farm presents the contents of the file to the client node using an application program associated with a file type of the requested file.
