Abstract
A packet traversing on the computer network is received; session information is generated from the packet with the session information including a client network address and a server network address; the packet is associated with at least one object attribute from the directory by using the session information; and a security policy defined for the network environment is enforced by using the session information and the object attribute(s) to determine whether the packet violates the security policy.
