Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for allowing access to secure resources through a gateway without having to pre-configure the gateway with each specific URL that access is to be granted as well as maintaining the list of resources that are exposed. The gateway is configured to take incoming requests from client devices, such as the URL, and determine from the URL itself what type of authentication is required to gain access to the resource as opposed to comparing the URL with a managed list of URL's. Once the authentication process is identified by the gateway that process is implemented. The gateway analyzes the responses from the resources that may include denials or user authentication requests from the resource to determine the authentication process to use to gain access to the resource. Once authenticated the communications traffic between the client/user and the resource is permitted through the gateway.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for augmenting a corporate profile of a user on a private social network with profile information from at least one public social network. Once the profiles have been integrated groups associated with the private social network are analyzed to determine if there are groups that the user should belong to based on a similarity between their profile features and the membership features of each of the groups. The groups may be internal to the private social network or may be hosted by a public social network. Users may be removed from the groups as well based on changes in their profiles.

Abstract: Authentication and authorization can be performed with a bundled token, which encapsulates two or more security tokens in a single security token. The bundled token can be supplied in response to a request for a token from a token service, for example. Subsequently, the bundled token can be sent in conjunction with a request for resource access, wherein more than one token is required to access the resource.
