The security provisions of the first and second target applications are adjustable. The security application is also adapted to receive information from the manager and can adjust the security provisions associated with the first and second target applications based on the information received from the manager, thereby controlling the client's access to the first and second target applications. The security system includes a security server adapted to communicate with a client, a first and second target application, and a manager.
