Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer-usable medium for executing, at an Entitlement Broker Service (EBS), a request from a requesting user for a protected computer resource that is available only to entitled users. Entitlement identifications are located using a Standardized Entitlement Credentials Data Store (SECDS) in the EBS. The SECDS contains entitlement identification in a standardized format that can be used to contact an Entitlement Source (ES) for entitlement information regarding the requesting user and the requested protected computer resource. The located entitlement information, for the requesting user, is then transmitted from the EBS to an External Client Application (ECA) that manages the protected computer resource, thus affording the requesting user access to the protected computer resource.
