  • Patent number: 11683300
    Abstract: Flexible authentication technologies customized to particular tenants of a data center network can be implemented. For example, an administrator can specify a primary authentication server and specify at which data centers different applications are to be hosted for a given tenant. End users can be shielded from the complexities of implementing such configuration details. For example, single sign-on authentication can be implemented, even when applications are configured to be hosted in different data centers. Enterprise tenants can thus control where applications are hosted and enforce data containment scenarios without encumbering users with additional tasks. Collaboration and application-to-application authentication can be achieved.
