Patent number: 9521119Abstract: Software for managing access control functions in a network. The software includes a host that receives access control commands or information and calls one or more methods. The methods perform access control functions and communicate access control results or messages to be transmitted. The host may be installed in a network peer seeking access to the network or in a server controlling access to the network. When installed in a peer, the host receives commands and exchanges information with a supplicant. When installed in an access control server, the host receives commands and exchanges information with an authenticator. The host has a flexible architecture that enables multiple features, such as allowing the same methods to be used for authentication by multiple supplicants, providing ready integration of third party access control software, simplifying network maintenance by facilitating upgrades of authenticator software and enabling access control functions other than peer authentication.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2015Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Anthony M. Leibovitz, Mark C. Schurman, Mudit Goel, Paul G. Mayfield, Sudhakar Pasupuleti, Taroon Mandhana, Vivek P. Kamath, Wei Zheng, Xuemei Bao

Patent number: 6804709Abstract: A system and method for testing the implementation of a remote access protocol in network servers and/or clients goes through test cases with different server-client configuration combinations in an automated and distributed process. The testing system includes at least one test controller, a client pool, a server pool, and a database that maintains the test cases to be tested. Servers and clients participating in the distributed testing are registered with the test controller, which matches a server with a client based on their configuration capabilities and/or other factors. Test cases selected from the database are then assigned to the server-client pair for execution. For each assigned test case, the client assumes the client configuration of that case and calls the server to establish a connection under the remote access protocol, and the server assumes the server configuration test results for the executed test cases are stored for monitoring and generating reports.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2001Date of Patent: October 12, 2004Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Samir B.
