This Common Capability covers the extension of a local resource management system. In a batch prologue licence proxy is re-configured by the resource management system in order to grant access for a specific userID at the assigned ideally dedicated -- local resources. At this point security of access to the licence server is transferred from an authentication/authorization level to the required network level at which e.g. FlexLM operates. All external accesses from dedicated local resources are re-routed via to the proxy, which allows or rejects these connections. Correspondingly in a batch epilogue all connections are terminated and the proxy is reconfigured in order to prohibit non-authorized access. The proxy also logs access time and duration. For details we refer to the corresponding design pattern Resource Management based Proxy Pattern.
