  • Patent number: 8789152
    Abstract: A method and technique for managing authentication procedures for a user having access to several applications within a computing environment includes registering at an authentication manager different applications to which a user shall be given an authentication access by defining at the authentication manager a specific address identification allowing addressing the application specific authentication rules, logging the user to the authentication manager, the user requesting access to an application accessible by the authentication manager, and using the application specific address identification stored at the authentication manager to retrieve the application specific authentication rules for authenticating the user to the requested application.

  • Publication number: 20080156601
    Abstract: The lining or functional body includes a carrier (11) in form of a ground plate, for example a carrier plate or a carrier sheet, of a thin-walled rough ground carrier (15; 15?) made of a metal sheet or of another appropriate material placed on the carrier (11; 11?), of a rough ground (20?) made of a support base (20; 20?; 21) sintered on the surface (15a; 15?a) of the rough ground carrier (15; 15?) which is turned away from the lining carrier (11; 11?), this support base being made of single moulded bodies (22?) with undercuts, recesses or the like which are positively and frictionally connected with the rough ground carrier (15; 15?), and of a functional block (25; 25?) fixed on the rough ground carrier (15; 15?) with the rough ground (20?), this functional block being made of a friction material, a synthetic material, in particular of such a synthetic material which is not appropriate to be glued together or to be applied in another manner, for example of a polymer or Teflon, whereby the rough ground carrie

  • Publication number: 20040099493
    Abstract: The lining or functional body (10) consists a carrier (11) in form of a ground plate, for example a carrier plate or a carrier sheet, of a thin-walled rough ground carrier (15; 15′) made of a metal sheet or of another appropriate material placed on the carrier (11; 11′), of a rough ground (20′) made of a support base (20; 20′; 21) sintered on the surface (15a; 15′a) of the rough ground carrier (15; 15′) which is turned away from the lining carrier (11; 11′), this support base being made of single moulded bodies (22′) with undercuts, recesses or the like which are positively and frictionally connected with the rough ground carrier (15; 15′), and of a functional block (25; 25′) fixed on the rough ground carrier (15; 15′) with the rough ground (20′), this functional block being made of a friction material, a synthetic material, in particular of such a synthetic material which is not appropriate to be glued together or to be applied in anothe
