Trusted User Boundary Services Pattern

Description

This boundary pattern addresses the controls required for a trusted client to locally (that is, physical connection to an NIH managed network within NIH managed facilities) access the NIH network and server resources. Some of the controls will be resident exclusively on the client, some of the controls will be both a client and network service (for example, authentication).
