This lack of support staff creates software codes that are too large to fit on a single disc, difficult to distribute to remote offices, and makes updating software challenging
Also, relying on other agencies to perform software installations remotely is challenging because different agencies often implement different security protocols

Embodiment Construction
[0013] Software installation within the alliance
[0014] Beginning with FIG. 1 , exemplary methods, devices, and products for software installation within a federation according to embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 is a block diagram illustrating an exemplary system for software installation within a federation, according to an embodiment of the present invention. A federation is a collection of entities, each entity represents a single security management unit, and each entity has established trust with at least one other entity in the federation. Trust is the characteristic that an entity within a federation is willing to rely on another entity in the federation to perform one or more actions on that entity's behalf. Trust is managed within the federation by establishing security certificates that satisfy the relevant security policies of each entity within the federation. The trust may be a direct tru...

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for software installation within a federation. Embodiments include receiving, by an installation administration proxy server from a user agent installed on a user computer, an install request; validating, by the installation administration proxy server, the install request including validating a security token associated with the install request and identifying, by the installation administration proxy server, a trusted software installation server to install software associated with the install request on the user computer. The installation administration proxy server, the user agent, and the trusted software installation server comprise entities in the federation. Typical embodiments also include installing, by the trusted software installation server, software on the user computer in accordance with software installation rules.
Description
technical field [0001] The field of the invention is data processing, in particular methods, devices and products for software installation within a federation. Background technique [0002] Large organizations often maintain remote offices with little or no support staff responsible for installing software on the computers of those entities. This lack of support staff makes software code too large to fit on a single disc difficult to distribute to remote offices and makes updating software challenging. Additionally, relying on other agencies to perform software installations remotely is challenging because different agencies often implement different security protocols. There is currently a need for a software installation method that can operate in a distributed environment that spans different security domains. Contents of the invention [0003] Methods, apparatus and computer program products are provided for software installation within a consortium. Embodiments in...
