  • Multi-server location-independent authentication certificate management system
    Patent number: 6134658
    Abstract: The multi-server, location-independent authentication certificate management system overcomes the limitations of the existing systems by automating the authentication certificate request, grant and installation processes. Much of the data used to create the authentication certificate request is readily available information, such as: requestor identification, Internet locus, date, time. The authentication certificate management system populates the certificate request with the available data and then prompts the user to provide the additional data in a simple manner, verifying the form and format of the input data. This automation of the authentication certificate request generation minimizes the number of malformed authentication certificate requests. In addition, the authentication certificate management system is capable of being installed on a shared basis, wherein multiple servers and/or multiple services are provided with the authentication certificate from a centralized source.
