Abstract

See full text

A data processing system and method are disclosed for providing an access connector which limits access to a network to only authorized client computer systems. The network is controlled by a server computer system. The access connector is provided for physically coupling a client computer system to the network. The access connector is physically coupled to the network. Prior to permitting the client computer system to attempt to establish a client communication link with the network, the client computer system attempts to authenticate itself to the server computer system. In response to the client computer system being unable to authenticate itself to the server computer system, the access connector prohibits the client computer system from establishing a client communication link between the client computer system and the network.
