Patent attributes
A policy-controlled access security system for managing access security to electronic agents in cloud based multi-tenant systems includes a client device, a mid-link server, and a web server. A local application running on the client device requests for access to an electronic agent of a remote application of the web server. Policies are determined corresponding to the electronic agent for controlled access to the electronic agent. A token for the electronic agent is correlated with a plurality of tokens for identifying a user application associated with the token. The remote application corresponding to the token from the request is compared with the user application. Based on the comparison an authorization is determined by the mid-link server corresponding to the token for accessing the electronic agent. The policies are enforced on the client device and the access to the electronic agent is provided based on the policies via the web server.
