ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems are provided for managing security credentials in a distributed computer system. Multiple security contexts may be defined for a given principal in the system without requiring the use of multiple accounts. A secure package is provided to allow the principal to roam. Methods are provided for identifying differences in the principal's access rights in different contexts and for updating the secure package as needed.
