ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for controlling use of a network resource. A network administrator accesses and navigates one or more network resources. A navigation capture server captures each request that is generated by the administrator's browser and each response that is received, and stores information about the requests and responses. The navigation capture server analyzes the captured information and generates an access
avigation script that represents the navigation actions taken by the administrator in the session. The script is edited and generalized in a manner such that upon playback of the script, the user may input actual useful information and the system may capture specific response data. When the client accesses and navigates the Web applications, context-specific information, relating to the client's then-current request, is passed from the User View Server to the navigation capture server. The navigation capture server merges the context-specific information into a corresponding request of the access
avigation script, and communicates a modified, context-specific request to the network resource. When the network resource generates a response, the message and any associated data are returned to the client through the navigation capture server and User View Server in a reciprocal manner. Thus, each user experiences a Web site with a uniform user interface or in a controlled way.
