  • Publication number: 20210385207
    Abstract: A Cross-Platform Single Sign On (CP-SSO) experience is provided herein to enable users to access multiple services via a single login when working across different platforms. A user may work across different platform when using multiple devices, when using multiple browsers on a single device, or when an integrated application requires a separate login for access within a host web application or portal service. A proxy token service manages login requests and authentication tokens after a given service has been logged into once by a user, so that the user does not need to provide login credentials on subsequent requests for the given service. By enabling a CP-SSO experience, network efficiency is improved, and the user experience is also improved as users do not need to supply authentication credentials as frequently and may freely choose to use multiple platforms instead of limiting usage to a single platform.

  • Patent number: 8996682
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method and system for automatically instrumenting a set of web documents, such as web pages, as well as embedding structures that present advertising content via the web pages. The instrumentation automatically embeds tags that enable usage information associated with the web documents to be tracked and recorded. Many hundreds or thousands of web pages can be automatically modified without user intervention, enabling comprehensive reporting and tracking to be performed on each page. The web pages are analyzed and insertion points intelligently located. Changes can be verified to ensure that no undesirable effects resulted from embedding the content. The tags can receive parameters customized to the level of users and pages. The tags, insertion information, and other configuration information can be stored in a central repository to make subsequent tagging easier.

  • Patent number: 7434013
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to providing adaptive system recovery for computer systems. This may include receiving restoration information from a first computer system wherein the restoration information defines each storage component associated with the first computer system and the restoration information includes a storage component status, a storage component signature, a storage component type, and a storage component size. The restoration information may be used to match each of the storage components of the first computer system to a storage component of the second computer system based at least on the restoration information and size of the storage component of the second computer system. Matching may include matching a storage component signature from the restoration information to a storage component signature of a storage component associated with the second computer system. Other aspects are described in the detailed description.
