ABSTRACT:
A method and system for adding a secured network server to an existing network for access by a client thereof, wherein the added server does not possess a database of authentication credentials. The client is first authenticated for access to the added server by passing authentication requests received from the client to an authenticating agent having a database of authentication credentials, which may include information from a bindery comprising users, groups and passwords. The responses from the authenticating agent are then evaluated, and if the response indicates validity, the client is the granted access to the added server. Database services are provided to the authenticated client by first evaluating database requests received from the client. Requests seeking information maintained by the authenticating agent are handled by passing the requests to the authenticating agent and using its response to reply to the client.
