  • Methods and systems for completing, by a single-sign on component, an authentication process in a federated environment to a resource not supporting federation
    Patent number: 8813203
    Abstract: A system for distributed authentication includes a client machine, in a first domain in a federation, that receives from a user a first set of authentication credentials. The system also includes an intermediate machine in a second domain in the federation, a server, also in the second domain, a password management program executing on the server and a non-federated resource. The intermediate machine authenticates the user responsive to receiving the first set of authentication credentials and identifies a second set of authentication credentials. The server in the second domain authenticates the user, responsive to the second set of authentication credentials. The password management program, executing on the server, retrieves a third set of authentication credentials associated with the user. The non-federated resource authenticates the user, responsive to receiving, from the password management program, the third set of authentication credentials.

  • Method and system for dynamically translating bus addresses within a computer system
    Patent number: 5890011
    Abstract: A method for dynamically translating bus address within a computer system is disclosed. In accordance with the method and system of the present invention, a computer system has a multiple of buses connected in a hierarchial manner. Information concerning a bus and a device attached to a bus are stored in a Hardware Namespace. In response to a request for an access to a device attached to one of the buses for the first time, a determination is made from the Hardware Namespace as to whether or not there is resource available for the device in a parent bus of the device. If there is resource available in the parent bus for the device, another determination is made from the Hardware Namespace as to whether or not the resource is exclusively allocated in the parent bus for the device. If the resource is exclusively allocated in the parent bus for the device, the device is configured according to the available resource.
