Abstract:
1. A system for discovery enrichment in an intelligent workload management system, comprising: an authentication server that generates authentication tokens defining entitlements for a plurality of unique identities across a plurality of authentication domains, wherein the authentication server generates the authentication tokens from federated identity information stored in an identity vault, and wherein the entitlements are derived from single sign-on workload identities for a given user and define various credentials assigned to the given user, an operating system contacts an authentication server to obtain the authentication tokens that define the credentials and permissions on the workload identities; a discovery engine that discovers a model describing an operational state for an information technology infrastructure and enriches the model with the federated information stored in the identity vault and actual activity monitored for the plurality of unique identities in the information technology infrastructure, wherein the discovery engine is configured to: a management infrastructure that manages the captured snapshot of the infrastructure model, wherein the management infrastructure is configured to:
