SECURE MANAGEMENT SCRIPT DEPLOYMENT

Abstract:

An indication is received to initiate a resource discovery process of a client system. The client system includes resources to be discovered and the resource discovery process is associated with a script. A connection is made from a management server to the client system with a first level of security privileges of the client system. The client system is provided with an encapsulation program for an execution of the script. The encapsulation program is configured to determine ownership information of the script. The encapsulation program is also configured to cause the execution of the script on the client system with modified security privileges corresponding to the ownership information of the script rather than the first level of security privileges of the client system.
