Abstract

A method and system for providing a first network resource limited access to a second network resource. A method embodying the invention includes receiving profile data. Using the profile data, temporary credentials are then generated for accessing the second network resource. The temporary credentials are then made available to the first network resource. In a preferred embodiment, the temporary credentials are invalidated following a termination event such as the lapse of a set time period or after the second resource has been accessed.
