A scope-based access control system includes a systems manager that is executed to receive a request to perform an operation on one of multiple computing devices in which the request includes a session identifier associated with an established session of a user who issued the request. The systems manager forwards the request and the session identifier to a global authentication authority. The global authentication authority responds to the request by issuing a claim that specifies a computing device group that the session is authorized to access. The systems manager receives the claim specifying a computing device group from the global authentication authority. The systems manager then performs the operation based on whether the one computing device is included in the computing device group.

Scope-based access control system and method

A secured network management domain access system includes a chassis housing a master I/O module that is configured to provide a network management domain, and a management module coupled to the master I/O module. The management module includes an enclosure controller coupled to the master I/O module via a first communication channel, and that retrieves master I/O module secured access information from the master I/O module via the first communication channel. The management module also includes a management service coupled to the enclosure controller via a second communication channel and to the master I/O module via a third communication channel, and that retrieves the master I/O module secured access information from the enclosure controller via the second communication channel, and performs validation operations with the master I/O module via the third communication channel such that the management service may securely access the network management domain via the master I/O module.

Secured network management domain access system

A device management system that receives a first service request message for a remote device node, the request including an address identifier and a connection profile identifier. The system retrieves from a database protocol configuration information associated with the service request. The system connects to the remote device using the protocol configuration information and iterates through device packs and identifies a device type and support for in-band and out-of band application protocols for the remote device. The system retrieves and stores the retrieved device type and in-band and out-of band application protocols. The system further receives a second service request message that includes a device identifier of the remote device and iteratively connect to the remote device associated with the device identifier using each of the in-band and out-of band application protocols and retrieves an inventory of management operations associated with each application protocol.
