Application of specific conditions on resource requests

An external authorization service can impose more specific conditions or system-specific side effects on a successful or unsuccessful access attempt.

Examples of such conditions include:
  • Causing an external auditing mechanism to record the successful or unsuccessful access attempt
  • Actively monitoring the access attempt and causing an alert or alarm whenever unacceptable behavior is detected
  • Conducting billing or micro-payment transactions
  • Imposing access quotas on a protected resource
