Dynamic Access Control Entry Generation for IP Adaptation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing access control systems for data centers face challenges in dynamically managing access control policies, especially in handling changes in IP addresses of access accounts while ensuring secure and flexible access permissions.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for processing access requests that involve acquiring identification information and IP addresses from authentication messages, determining matching permission configuration information, generating access control entries, and processing access requests based on these entries, allowing for dynamic management of access control policies.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional access control systems are used with static IP address binding, then security management is simplified, but the system cannot adapt to dynamic IP changes and loses flexibility
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic access control by automatically generating and updating access control entries when IP addresses change. The system transitions from static IP binding to dynamic IP adaptation, where the access control policy is automatically adjusted based on authentication messages containing new IP addresses, eliminating the need for manual policy updates while maintaining security.
Solution Approach 2:
The access control system performs self-service by automatically detecting IP address changes from authentication messages and generating updated access control entries without requiring manual intervention. The system self-manages the policy updates, reducing administrative complexity while improving adaptability to dynamic networking conditions.
2Productivity
If manual access control policy updates are performed for each IP address change, then policy accuracy is maintained, but time consumption and operational overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-configuring access control templates and permission profiles that can be quickly instantiated. When IP addresses change, the system automatically applies these pre-defined templates to generate access control entries, eliminating the need for manual policy creation and significantly reducing update time while maintaining policy accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The access control system automatically updates policies in response to IP address changes without requiring manual intervention. The system extracts IP addresses from authentication messages and self-generates corresponding access control entries, dramatically improving productivity and eliminating time loss associated with manual policy management.
3Measurement precision
If detailed access permission management is implemented, then security control precision is improved, but system complexity and configuration difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments access control into modular permission profiles and templates that can be independently configured and reused. Each permission profile represents a discrete set of access rights that can be assigned to different users and IP addresses, enabling detailed control precision while reducing overall system complexity through modular design and template-based configuration.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and apparatus for processing an access request, and a computer readable storage medium are provided. The method includes acquiring identification information and an IP address of an access account from an authentication message; determining permission configuration information matching the identification information; generating an access control entry based on the permission configuration information and the IP address; and processing an access request of an access account based on an access control entry.
