ABSTRACT:
A method, computer program product, and data processing system, with which a unified security policy may be implemented using existing application components with disparate security mechanisms and user registries is disclosed. The present invention provides a generic application programming interface (API) that forms a framework for creating registry adapters. Registry adapters allow a policy director (an item of software for imposing a sitewide security policy) to operate with new or unfamiliar registry types by acting as a drop-in translator for converting generic registry-access commands into operations specific to the particular registry in question.
