Patent ID: 7784101

Claim:
A computer-implemented method comprising computer-executable instructions for identifying application dependency upon a security context comprising: monitoring, by a computing device, access checks generated by an application running with a first set of security identifiers; re-submitting, by the computing device, a given access check with a second set of security identifiers if the given access check succeeds with the first set of security identifiers, wherein the second set of security identifiers is a subset of the first set of security identifiers; and monitoring, by the computing device, results of the given access check re-submitted with the second set of security identifiers; logging a state of execution of the application if the re-submitted access check fails; running the given application with the second set of security identifiers; intercepting a particular access check corresponding to a logged event; modifying the particular access check to include the first set of security identifiers; and monitoring execution of the given application.
