Abstract
Simultaneous distributed application support of multiple identity management systems is provided through the use of virtual web server instances, which enable one identity management system, on physical servers already running a pre-existing web server instance, which enables a different identity management system. Further, an intelligent rules-based determination is implemented to determine whether to route an access request to either the virtual or pre-existing web server instance. Since the virtual web server instances are generated on the same physical server that executes the pre-existing web service instance, the the existing network flow (i.e., a single URL) and physical infrastructure is leveraged to create a simplified approach to managing the simultaneous use of multiple identity management systems across different distributed applications.
