  • Patent number: 11171948
    Abstract: Session lifetime can be adapted based on session reputation. Session reputation can be computed based on sign-in risk and device risk, among other things. Session lifetime corresponds to a length of time a session is valid and can be determined automatically based on the session reputation. Subsequently, a token can be generated and returned in response to successful authentication that identifies a session and is valid for the determined lifetime.

  • Patent number: 10104071
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to revoking user sessions using signaling. In one scenario, an identity platform operating on a computer system receives an indication indicating that a user's login account has been compromised, where the user's login account has an associated login session and corresponding session artifact that is valid for a specified amount of time. The identity platform generates a signal indicating that the login session is no longer trusted and that the user is to be re-directed to the identity platform to re-authenticate and renew the session artifact and provides the generated signal to various relying parties including at least one relying party that is hosting the login session for the user.

  • Patent number: 9268931
    Abstract: A method for sign-on and sign-out for a computer system. The method includes receiving a first sign-on request for the computer system and obtaining, from the first sign-on request, a first user identifier where the first user identifier corresponds to a first user for the computer system. The method then includes obtaining, from the first sign-on request, a first uniform resource locator (URL) and determining whether the first URL includes a first root name for the computer system. When a determination is made that the first URL includes the first root name for the computer system a first cookie associated with the first user is issued and a first sub-domain name is obtained from the first URL. Also, a second cookie may be issued associated with the first sub-domain name and, when the first cookie and the second cookie are issued, the first user may sign-on to the computer system. In one or more embodiments, the method may include receiving a sign-out request.

  • Patent number: 9015807
    Abstract: An application submits a permission request to a resource server. In response to receiving the request, the resource server generates a user interface that asks the user to grant or deny the requested permissions. If the permissions are granted, data is stored indicating that the application has the requested permissions. When a runtime request for a resource is received, the resource server determines whether the request has been made by a user, by an application, or by an application on behalf of a user. If the request is made by an application only, the request is granted only if the application has permission to access the resource by way of a direct call not on behalf of a user. If the request is made by an application on behalf of a user, the request is granted only if both the user and the application have sufficient permission.

  • Publication number: 20130332606
    Abstract: A method for sign-on and sign-out for a computer system includes: receiving a first sign-on request for the computer system; obtaining, from the first sign-on request, a first user identifier, the first user identifier corresponding to a first user for the computer system; obtaining, from the first sign-on request, a first uniform resource locator (URL); determining whether the first URL includes a first root name for the computer system; when a determination is made that the first URL includes the first root name for the computer system: issuing a first cookie; associating the first cookie with the first user; obtaining a first sub-domain name from the first URL; issuing a second cookie, the second cookie being different from the first cookie; associating the second cookie with the first sub-domain name; and when the first cookie and the second cookie are issued, signing-on the first user to the computer system.
