ABSTRACT:
A user within a multiple process environment is initially authenticated, such as by verifying the user's identification and password. A first process, such as a client, requests a profile token representative of the user in response to authenticating the user. The profile token has associated with it one or more usage limitations. The profile token is transferred from the first process to a second process, such as a server. The second process, upon receiving a valid profile token, is allowed to perform one or more tasks on behalf of the user within the token's usage limitations. A profile token is invalidated upon violation of a usage limitation, such as a preestablished time-out period. One or more lookup tables are used to manage the profile tokens and to store certain user and profile token information, providing increased processing security.
