Abstract
A network resource access system provides network terminals with access to network resources over a network, and includes a resource registry, a driver database, and an authorization server. The resource registry includes resource records associated with the network resources and define at least a resource type for each network resource. The driver database includes resource driver applications for the network resources. The authorization server receives a request from one of the network terminals for communication with one of the network resources, obtains resource configuration data associated with the network resource, and then facilitates communication between the network terminal and the network resource in accordance with a correspondence between the resource configuration data and user configuration data associated with the network terminal.
