ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a system and method for managing resources in an information handling system. The present invention provides a "one stop" local area network (LAN) based registration tool that provides a common set of user and administrative functions. The goal of the present invention is to give the end user the responsibility of managing her own resources. One aspect of the present invention is a method for managing resources in a distributed computing environment. Another aspect of the present invention is a client/server, object oriented, distributed computing product (DCE) based tool, with application agents being used to manage individual services. The present invention receives client requests for resources from an application. These resources may include a password to obtain access to the application or to resources controlled by the application. Rules are checked to determine if prior approval is needed to process the request. If it is necessary to obtain approvals, including IDs on other systems, these approvals are obtained. Next, the resource request is sent to an application agent for processing. The application agent processes the requests, and then the rules are checked again to determine if notifications have to be sent (for example, to the requestor's manager). Any required notifications are then sent.
