Coordination Server

The Coordination Server:

• Manages the coordination database that identifies encyclopedias and users in the encyclopedia network
• Supports encyclopedia coordination services by:
  • Processing requests from the Coordination Client to read and update information about encyclopedias and their users.
  • Processing client requests to access an encyclopedia by validating user access to encyclopedias, and locating encyclopedias in the network.
  • Lists the encyclopedias that a user is authorized for when queried by a client during user logon.
