Abstract

See full text

A method and system for authenticating a user. A first server of multiple servers generates an authentication policy table by inserting into the authentication policy table an authentication policy of each server and setting a relative priority of each server in the authentication policy table of the first server in order of decreasing number of users registered in an authentication system of each server. The authentication policy of each server is at least one rule of each server for authenticating users of a federated computing environment that includes the multiple servers. The first server receives an access request from the user to access the federated computing environment, receives input authentication information from the user, and determines from use of both the input authentication information and the at least one rule in the authentication policy table of the first server that the user is authorized to access the federated computing environment.
