Abstract
A method is provided, in accordance with the present invention, for merging a source domain into a target domain in a network. Merging domains comprises replacing a first account identification for each account associated with the source domain by a second account identification associated with the target domain. Next, in accordance with the present invention, for each account associated with the source domain, the first account identification is added to an account security data structure storing account identifications with which the account has previously been associated when associated with a former, merged domain.
