Abstract
A method and cloud security framework for implementing tenant license verification. The method and framework conduct tenant license verification transparently to cloud resources and users who request them. An exemplary method comprises receiving by the framework from a client device a request for access to a cloud resource and user information; authenticating by the framework a user of the device using the information; obtaining by the framework a security context for the user including a tenant identifier identifying a multi-user enterprise to which the user belongs using the information; transmitting by the framework to an outside entity over a web services interface a tenant license verification request including the identifier; receiving by the framework from the entity a verification that a tenant license associated with the identifier is in good standing; and granting by the framework to the device access to the resource.
