Abstract
Program code generates on a first computer within a computer system a unique key for a computer software application, wherein the computer software application is on a second computer within the computer system. The program code generates on the first computer an authorization code that grants a designated end user access to implement a change to a configuration item on a second computer during a configurable time period. The program code verifies the authorization code inputted into the second computer to determine if the end user has authority to implement the change on second computer, wherein the authorization code is separated into a first string and a second string each having a fixed number of bits. The program code grants access to the end user to implement the change to the configuration item on the second computer if the end user has the authority to implement the change.
