  • Patent number: 9699170
    Abstract: A framework, which conforms to the OAuth standard, involves a generic OAuth authorization server that can be used by multiple resource servers in order to ensure that access to resources stored on those resource servers is limited to access to which the resource owner consents. Each resource server registers, with the OAuth authorization server, metadata for that resource server, indicating scopes that are recognized by the resource server. The OAuth authorization server refers to this metadata when requesting consent from a resource owner on behalf of a client application, so that the consent will be of an appropriate scope. The OAuth authorization server refers to this metadata when constructing an access token to provide to the client application for use in accessing the resources on the resource server. The OAuth authorization server uses this metadata to map issued access tokens to the scopes to which those access tokens grant access.

  • Patent number: 9600652
    Abstract: Techniques for managing identities are provided. In some examples, identity management, authentication, authorization, and token exchange frameworks may be provided for use with mobile devices, mobile applications, cloud applications, and/or other web-based applications. For example a mobile client may request to perform one or more identity management operations associated with an account of a service provider. Based at least in part on the requested operation and/or the particular service provider, an application programming interface (API) may be utilized to generate and/or perform one or more instructions and/or method calls for managing identity information of the service provider.

  • Patent number: 9565178
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for sending, from an application executing on a device associated with a user, through a Representational State Transfer (REST)-based interface, to an authorization computer system, a request for permission to access a scope of information associated with the user. The techniques can further include, based on authentication of the user, receiving, at the device associated with the user, through the REST-based interface, a request for consent by the user to allow the application to access information that is within the scope of information associated with the user. Furthermore, the techniques can include, responsive to the device receiving consent from the user, sending, from the device associated with the user, through the REST-based interface, to the authorization computer system, the consent to allow the application to access the information for the authorization computer system to store a mapping between the application and the scope.

  • Patent number: 9043886
    Abstract: A framework is provided for integrating Internet identities in enterprise identity and access management (IAM) infrastructures. A framework is provided for open authorization. A framework is also provided for relying party functionality. A mapping repository can be configured to store a mapping between applications and identity providers. The mapping associates each application of a plurality of applications with one or more identity providers. Identity management logic can be configured to use the mapping to determine that one or more identity providers of a first plurality of identity providers can be used to perform authentication activities on behalf of the first application in response to receiving a first request associated with a first application.
