Abstract
System, method and program for managing a production server. An authentication server sends to the production server via a network a group password for a GroupID to access a file in the production server. A user at a workstation sends via a network to the authentication server an individual UserID and corresponding individual password for the user and a request for the group password for the GroupID to access a file in the production server protected by the group password. In response, the authentication server authenticates the individual UserID with the corresponding individual password and returns to the workstation the group password for the GroupID. After receiving the group password from the authentication server, the user at the workstation sends via a network to the production server the group password and GroupID and a request to access the file in the production server protected by the group password. In response, the production server authenticates the GroupID with the group password and grants the user access to the file.
