Patent number: 11856102Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to proxies configured to handle identity and access management for a web application. For instance, a second proxy receives requests to the application from a browser. The second proxy redirects the browser to an identity endpoint, which prompts the user to enter authentication credentials for the application. Upon successful authentication, the endpoint provides an access token for accessing web APIs to the second proxy. The second proxy provides the token to a first proxy, which stores the token. The first proxy receives anonymous API calls from the web application to the web APIs. When receiving an anonymous API call, the first proxy obtains the token and inserts it into an outgoing request to the API. Responsive to the API returning a message indicating that the token is invalid, the first proxy communicates with the second proxy to obtain a new token from the endpoint.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Saeed Javed Akhter, Steven Soneff

Patent number: 11849037Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for managing the replication of a secret across different regions. A secrets management system (SMS) may be used to manage replication of secrets across different regions of the cloud that are in different geographic locations. Different input mechanisms, such as an API, a UI, or a CLI may be utilized to manage the replication of secrets. In some examples, upon detection of a replication message, the SMS reads the message, identifies the secret, and performs an action involving the secret. For instance, a secret identified within the replication message is accessed from the current region, and the secret is re-encrypted using a customer specified KMS key using customer credentials. The secret is then packaged into a secret replication message. An SRS in the replicated region reads this new secret replication message, accesses the secret that was replicated, and saves the secret in the replicated region.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: William Tong, Joseph Baro, Parimal Shirish Deshmukh, Kylan Joseph Kempster, Yan Wu, Graeme David Baer, Steven K.
