Abstract: In a cloud computing environment, a configurable transaction status interface of an enterprise computing platform enables application developers to customize applications efficiently. The configurable transaction status interface includes a global variable that is populated using a method for implementing a configurable status map that maps a transaction result to the global variable without having to customize the application. The configurable transaction status interface allows third party vendors of transaction gateways to use the configurable status map to map one or more of their gateway-specific transaction results to a generic status defined in the global variable. The vendors manage the configurable status map in their own namespace independently of the application with which they are interfacing.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating multi-factor authentication for data security. In some embodiments, a computer system receives, from a user device, a database operation request that specifies a set of query data, where the computer system supports multiple different security levels requiring different subsets of a set of authentication factors supported by a known device of a user of the user device. Various devices may determine current contextual information for the database operation request, where the contextual information indicates the set of query data. In some embodiments, the computer system compares the current contextual information with prior contextual information for database requests and then selects a security level from the different security levels. The computer system then initiates verification of a subset of authentication factors corresponding to the selected security level.
