US Patent 9077758 Test mode authorization logging

Systems and techniques are provided for deploying an authorization policy to an enterprise server in a test mode. An authorization server generates and provides a test rule set based on the policy to enterprise server. An endpoint device transmits a restricted action request to the enterprise server which analyzes the request in view of the test rule set. A request decision based on the test rule set is made and recorded without being implemented by the enterprise server. A test mode report is generated based on one or more recorded decisions and the policy is enabled or invalidated based on the test mode report.
