Claim:
1. A method of applying timeout protocols by an access manager to a plurality of resources that are spread across a plurality of separate application domains, the method comprising: storing a plurality of timeout protocols, wherein each of the plurality of timeout protocols: receiving a request for a first resource in the plurality of resources, wherein: responsive to the request, determining that the first value satisfies the at least one criterion of a timeout protocol in the plurality of timeout protocols; based on determining that the first value satisfies the at least one criterion, applying the timeout protocol to the first resource; responsive to determining that the first value satisfies the at least one criterion of the timeout protocol, determining each resource in the plurality of resources that is associated with the first attribute and that has the first attribute assigned a value that satisfies the at least one criterion; applying the timeout protocol to each determined resource; enforcing the timeout protocol, by the access manager, on each determined resource in the plurality of the separate application domains, wherein the timeout protocol enforced by the access manager is distinct from any domain-specific timeout protocols enforced by any of the plurality of application domains; and granting access to the first resource according to the timeout protocol.
