Abstract
A system and method for resolving an identity includes a security console, which displays security information regarding a secure network. The security information includes at least a first identity used to access the secure network. An operator selects the first identity, and the security console sends it to a resolver. The resolver connects with an identity server to find an access session record with an identity matching the first identity. A second identity is extracted from this record, and the resolver returns a result that includes the second identity. The security console displays the second identity; The first identity can be a user identity of a user, where the second identity is corresponding host identity, or vise versa. In this manner, an efficient interface to security information is provided to an operator, where the operator may resolve a user/host identity to a host/user identity interactively.
