  • Patent number: 7383326
    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer readable media provide for network location overrides for a client to utilize when accessing network hosted services. A client computer obtains network locations for hosted services from a network location, such as a URL of a configuration server. Any overrides providing different network locations for one or more of the hosted services are obtained from a store of the client computer, such as from a system registry provided by the operating system. The network location of an override is then used in place of a network location specified at the configuration server to access the hosted service. The overrides may apply for all applications, certain applications, certain services of an application, or for certain users of the client computer.

  • Patent number: 7237118
    Abstract: Methods and systems authenticate a user of a sub-location of a network location by using a first cookie for authentication within the network location, such as a domain of the world wide web, and also use a second cookie for authentication within a sub-location of the network location. When the user attempts to visit a network location or sub-location within the network location, the server of the network location authenticates the user by obtaining a previously stored cookie from the user's computer and validating it for the network location. Upon being authenticated by the validation, a cookie for a sub-location within the network location is generated for the user and provided to the user's computer. When the user attempts to access the sub-location within the network location, the cookie provided to the user's computer for the sub-location is obtained and validated to authenticate the user for the sub-location.
