Abstract: A method is provided for a multi-tenant system to accept web service calls from third party systems over a computer network. The method includes centrally receiving messages with different endpoint URLs from the third party systems over the computer network and processing each message by parsing an endpoint URL of the message to identify a tenant and an action for a payload of the message and authenticating the message. When the message is authenticated, the method further includes generating an acknowledgment of the message based on the identified tenant and the identified action and sending the acknowledgment over the computer network, routing the payload, the identified tenant, and the identified the action to a queue based on the identified tenant, retrieving the payload, the identified tenant, and the identified action from the queue, determining a user script corresponding to the identified action, and executing the user script on the payload.

Abstract: A method for modifying a system-defined user interface control on a computing device is described. The method includes wrapping, on the computing device, a system-defined control within a programmer-defined control at run-time and modifying functionality of the system-defined control at run-time. Modifying functionality includes intercepting an initial message for a system-defined control, preventing the system-defined control from rendering and rendering a programmer-defined control in place of the system-defined control. Modifying functionality also includes intercepting a message for the system-defined control, determining whether the message requires modified functionality and providing modified functionality if the message requires modified functionality. Modifying functionality also includes sending the message to the system-defined control if the message does not require modified functionality and providing regular functionality if the message does not require modified functionality.

Abstract: Methods of adding data identifiers and speech/voice recognition functionality are disclosed. A telnet client runs one or more scripts that add data identifiers to data fields in a telnet session. The input data is inserted in the corresponding fields based on data identifiers. Scripts run only on the telnet client without modifications to the server applications. Further disclosed are methods for providing speech recognition and voice functionality to telnet clients. Portions of input data are converted to voice and played to the user. A user also may provide input to certain fields of the telnet session by using his voice. Scripts running on the telnet client convert the user's voice into text and is inserted to corresponding fields.

The computing device further executes the new application if the new application is set up successfully.

Abstract: A method by a management server is described. The method includes receiving a credentials request from a requesting management node. The credentials request includes a public key of the requesting management node. The method also includes determining whether the management server has credentials encrypted for the requesting management node in a local cache. The credentials are encrypted using the public key of the requesting management node and cannot be decrypted by the management server. The method further includes sending the encrypted credentials to the requesting management node when the management server has the encrypted credentials. The requesting management node can decrypt the encrypted credentials using a private key.

Abstract: A method for a self-electing service by a managed device is described. The method includes configuring the managed device with a service. The service is configured on at least one additional managed device in a network segment. The method also includes determining whether the managed device is selected to provide the service by negotiating with the at least one additional managed device in the network segment based on preconfigured election rules.

Abstract: A computing device configured for sending configuration information is described. The computing device includes a processor and instructions stored in memory that is in electronic communication with the processor. The computing device obtains access information. The computing device further generates a graphic based on the access information. The computing device also receives a configuration information request associated with the graphic. Additionally, the computing device sends the configuration information.

Abstract: A method for provisioning a managed node is described. The method includes obtaining data indicating a set of resources to be downloaded. The data corresponds to a designated configuration. The method also includes sending parallel resource existence requests to peer nodes for one or more resources in the set of resources. The resource existence requests are sent within a managed network. The method further includes determining if one or more responses from the peer nodes are received. The method additionally includes downloading at least one resource from at least one of the peer nodes if at least one response is received indicating that at least one peer node has a requested resource. The method also includes downloading any remaining resource from an administrative system.

Abstract: A computing device configured for multicast message routing is described. The computing device includes a processor and instructions in memory. The computing device receives a multicast request message on a receiving network interface. The receiving network interface is one of multiple network interfaces. The computing device determines which network interface is the receiving network interface based on a network interface list. The computing device sends a multicast reply message on the receiving network interface based on the network interface list.
