  • Patent number: 12647310
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for orchestrating server management in a modern IT network. The described techniques may be implemented to manage any number of networked severs, whether local, remote, or both. Server orchestration may leverage a central, cloud-based management system and/or one or more autonomous agents installed on servers with the network. The autonomous agents may each be registered with the supervisory server and may have awareness of one another.

  • Patent number: 12598175
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and storage media for controlling access to an application in an identity infrastructure are disclosed. The method comprises requesting to access the application, wherein the application is associated with an identity system, determining a status of the identity system, the status comprising one of an available status and unavailable status. When the status comprises the unavailable status, transmitting a request for additional information, receiving the additional information, and verifying the additional information by referencing an identity cache associated with the identity system. In some cases, the method comprises authenticating a user to access the application when the status comprises the available status and/or the additional information has been verified, and in response to authenticating the user at the application, sending a communication from the application to the user, granting the user access to the application.

  • Patent number: 12587502
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for server-initiated secure sessions are described. A browser application may connect to a portal, where the portal may transmit a command to a server agent to initiate a secure session with an endpoint device. The server agent may be housed in a destination server, and may establish a secure connection with an intermediary server using a secure communication protocol. The secure connection may be made by directing the destination server to open an out-bound connection through a firewall of the destination server. A browser session may be redirected to the intermediary server from the browser application, and the intermediary server may route the browser session traffic to the secure connection.

  • Publication number: 20250294027
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for enterprise-wide management of disparate devices, applications, and users are described. A cloud-based central server may maintain an integrated hosted directory, which may allow user authentication, authorization, and management of information technology (IT) resources across device types, operating systems, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) and on-premises applications. IT resources for multiple and separate customers may be managed from a single, central directory, and servers may be brought online to allow access to the directory according to system loading.

  • Patent number: 12375485
    Abstract: A system for controlling user access to an application is disclosed, where the system is configured to receive a request to access the application from a user, the application associated with an identity provider and a datastore; route the request to an intermediary; redirect the request to an identity provider for authentication; authenticate a user with the application based on receiving application identity information at the identity provider; generate a temporary user credential at the intermediary; provide the request along with the temporary user credential to the application; capture a backchannel request from the application to the datastore; confirm that the temporary user credential matches the one previously generated; send confirmation to the application that the temporary user credential enables user access to the application; send communication from the application to the user granting the user access to the application.
