Abstract: Embodiments of the present teachings relate to systems and methods for generating modular security delegates for application instances, including, for example, applications usable on physical machines, virtualized environments, in the cloud, etc. According to embodiments, in a multiple network environment, multiple machines (or clients) can be configured, each having a defined security level. Each machine can include a plurality of application instances and corresponding security delegates for various defined security levels. For example, the defined security levels can be based on various authentication mechanisms, including, Kerberos, NT Lan Manager (NTLM) authentication protocol, secure sockets layer/transport security layer (SSL/TSL), token authentication, virtual private network (VPN), remote access security (RAS), digest authentication, etc.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for building and distributing software packages. A package manager generation tool can interface with a set of stages of a development environment to receive source code configured for a software package build. The package manager generation tool can further receive a configuration file from a web user interface, wherein the configuration file can comprise a set of commands that, when executed, can build a software package from the source code. A distribution schedule can indicate one or more distribution systems to which to distribute the software package. The package manager generation tool can distribute the software packages to the distribution systems specified by the distribution schedule.

Abstract: In accordance with some aspects of the present disclosure, a method is disclosed that can include receiving, by a security delegate module, a set of user authentication credentials by an application running a first instance in a network for a user; determining, by the security delegate module, a type of the application; and selecting, by the security delegate module, a security service based on the set of user authentication credentials and the type of application.
