Abstract
An apparatus for and method of utilizing an internet terminal coupled to the world wide web to access an existing proprietary data base management system having a dialog-based request format. The user request is received by a web server from the world wide web and converted into one or more sequenced data base management commands stored as corresponding to the service request. If the user terminal requests access to a secure function or to secure data, the user terminal is interrogated to determine its user profile. This user profile is compared to the security profile of the service request. The service request is honored if and only if the user profile corresponds to the security profile. The secure session control object created to honor the request is deleted upon completion of the session.
