Appeal No. 2006-0933
Application No. 09/740,400
The claimed invention relates to the establishment and
enforcement of password change policy in a single sign-on (SSO)
environment. A first single sign-on password is changed to create
a second single sign-on password in response to the receipt of a
password change instruction. A target password is retrieved and
modified to create a modified target password in a user selected
manner to match the second single sign-on password. In response to
a user request for access to an application, the modified target
password is retrieved from storage and provided to the requested
application.
Claim 1 is illustrative of the invention and reads as
follows:
1. A method in a data processing system for changing a
plurality of target passwords in a single sign-on environment,
comprising the steps of:
in response to receiving a change instruction identifying a
first single sign-on password, changing the first single sign-on
password to create a second single sign-on password;
retrieving a target password; and
modifying the target password in a user selected manner to
match the second single sign-on password to create a modified
target password.
